I appreciete all of the info. Some I already knew, some I didn’t. But it can’t hurt hearing it twice. I don’t have time to respond to all of the personally, but I really do appreciete it, even if I can’t spell appreciete.
Thanks!
Are you for real? You said you had brothers in the Corps. Did they not give you a description on how it was going to be?
One simple sentence: Instant obediance to orders.
If you can do that and keep your mouth shut it might not be as miserable
It isn’t fun. At least it wasn’t fun 14 years ago. As far as going to Iraq, I’d be really concerned about my weapon being clean and ready to go.
Good Luck to you
p.s
I am sure you don’t want to die for your country so let them die for their country.

Here we go. I plan to join the marine corps soon, combat MOS of course, and I’m worried about losing gains during boot camp. Now, I’ve heard alot about the marines being great BBers while on base and what not, but what about during boot camp. All that cardio and endurance training will surely cause me to lose strength and/or size, or so I’m thinking. Has anybody been through this? Any former athletes or bodybuilders gone through USMC bootcamp and survived with minimal loss? I’ve heard that the food is great, but do they let you eat as much as you want? I’m thinking no, and knowing my matabolism I’m probably going to come out looking like a tooth pick. If anyone has advice or knowlage on this subject, please chime in. Thanks in advance![/quote]
The weakest I ever was was during boot camp–albeit I was a far better runner than I am now. I think the lack of sleep and proper nutrition hinders any strength progress. For example before I went I was able to do approximately 15 pull ups. By the end of boot camp I was lucky to get 6–keep in mind i was twenty pounds lighter at the end. I was slightly larger than most of my recruit counterparts (220 lbs 6’ 1") and don’t think I got the energy necessary to keep up with the training. I lost approximately 20 lbs over 13 weeks of training–but didn’t look any better when finished–only skinnier.

As big a joke as you are around here, I’d say you have much more important issues to work through before worrying about losing “gains.” You might start with your personality, or total lack thereof.
You are a joke and you will be OWNED by the Drill Sgts.

No, he has a personality, it’s just really obnoxious. Nonetheless, best of luck to you Griffin.

As an obnoxious person, I resent that. Griff is so much worse than I…
