    Monster Marine OCS thread: stupid questions answered here!

    I am a member of marineocs.com but I am not authorized to do anything on that site. I can't even post a thread or ask a question, anyone know anything on how to fix that one.? I have been working on that for a while. I am also looking at getting the Altama 4250 usmc hot weather boot but need...

    Monster Marine OCS thread: stupid questions answered here!

    Are the Bates men’s lightweight USMC boots no longer allowed at OCS? I saw this somewhere else. If so what is a good USMC boot to get? I am looking at Quantico boot online but if someone has any good suggestions please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    No I did not feel that but I still do feel some posterior shin splint pain. The shin splint pain seems to actually get better after my slow longer runs and walks. How about this one too, I also have the slapping of the foot effect as well after a .75 mile to the point I have to stop sometimes. I...

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    Yes sir I seem to be having the posterior shin splints or the inside of my legs if the picture does not show up. It seems to be getting better and then right when I make some gains it swoops in and inflames. Right leg is worse than the left leg at times. In all I have found a good dirt trail...

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    I don’t want to bulk up. Do you think 135lb barbell squats would be ok along with leg presses on the press machine? I was trying to follow the OCS website data and just use body weight only. I haven’t lifted weights in forever now and I was an avid weight lifter. The tibia still seems to be...

    Flight candidate with injury

    Damn sorry to hear that. I am sure it will get better in time for some board dates. I do some amount of lifting at my job if anything hurts after my lifting it is my tight back because of the all the pull-ups. What do you usually lift? Could it have come from the gym at all?

    Just found out the only dirt trail I could find is riddled with roots. The only options I have right now is asphalt or the beach.

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    Ok guys they seem to have gotten a lot better I did get fitted with the gt2170s at a really good running store. A support shoe and haven’t had any problems running so far. I am doing about 2 miles of slow running on an asphalt track Monday, Wednesday and Friday 0600. Do you think that is too...

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    Those are some bad ass moon shoes for sure. Is there just one style or different versions? I want to look into those more. Did you order yours online? I have the Asics GT2170s now they seem to do the job a thousand times better. Those nimbus 13s were ruining the lower portion of my legs. Thanks...

    Using the armstrong pull up program/ Should I start something else to change it up?

    ^^^ hahha that is too good. I hope I wasn't the first guy you used that trick on HH60. I did Google it but I was wondering if he knew of the best website for Recon Ron or one he used. I found some conflicting sites. One site says this, the other site says do not do this and etc.
  17. JEP

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    I have asics gel nimbus 13s neutral. What kind of shoe did you get? Do you know if you have high arches or what? Maybe I can get another neutral shoe with some extra support.

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    Ok great thanks I have the same exact thing I will look into that. I have neutral foot but I might be overpronating. I will go and talk to them.

    Running on the Beach (hard sand and or dirt trail)?

    I have had some discomfort on the inside of my right shin. I am guessing a little posterior shin splint or something off balance causing it. If I run 4 miles on pavement then stop it hurts up to 5 days after and then slowly goes away. It is in one location on the tibia and I thought it might be...

    Using the armstrong pull up program/ Should I start something else to change it up?

    What happens when you miss one day on the Armstrong? Say for instance I miss Thursday; do make up your 4th day Friday and then 5th Saturday. I try not to miss any days, but today was totally out of my control and ridiculous. Thanks guys let me know.

    Need PFT advice. Show up to first PFT not doing so hot or wait until I can?

    I just got back into the hard training routine. I am doing the killer’s crunch program, Armstrong program, and just running 4 times a week. I was slacking because I was working a lot of overtime at work before. I will not work anymore overtime from here on out the way things are looking right...

    Resting before PFT?

    I am confused about this Killer’s Crunch Workout. It says on day 5 “Do as many crunches as possible in 2 minutes just like the PFT.” ?? So are they talking about sit-ups in this program or crunches? It would be great if someone could clarify this, thanks.

    Using the armstrong pull up program/ Should I start something else to change it up?

    I have found on the Chicago marine officer program there are a couple of different training programs. Which one has worked best for all of you guys? I have been on the Armstrong but feel like progress is extremely slow.

    February 2012 SNA OCS Board

    To be honest what you learn in any ground school you can learn yourself. Ground schools are really just a way for flight schools and instructors to make more money and help you better understand where you are at before flying and after flight lessons in aircraft. It does help but does no good...

    Not trying to bring false hope buddy. Also with your annual thing for a board, I have never heard that one before. As you might know maybe in this climate people are talking about a board per year, but the navy could have a board next month if they wanted. Not bringing false hope to anyone that...

    no OCC air billets/contracts left for next summer? Need some advice.

    What did he call you about? Not having air contracts? I am not worried about age as much as not getting an air contract in time for age (if that makes any sense). From what I hear if you are in the age range of 27/ 28, waivers do work fine for OCC and they look at the whole applicant package of...

    Ok guys I need help. I was planning on the board seeing my package for OCC in April with an air contract to go away next June. I have the ASTB done with good scores, and I will be good to go on the PFT. Just got word today from my Staff Sergeant (that called me today) and said they have no more...

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    Well thanks, but for the pulleys I get more mixed info all of the time. Do you get the mechanical advantage on pulleys from counting the actualy pulleys or the wires? That is confusing anyone who knows would be of great help.

    I found minimum load weight ratings in the FAR Aim. It gives all kinds of ratios for utility and normal and aerobatic. Anyone knows the question I am referring about. It has something to do with what is the minimum load weight ratio rating for utility or it could say normal aircraft??? I have...

    1,001 questions about the ASTB (post your scores & ask your questions here!)

    Anyone know what the FAA weight rating minimum question about commercial aircraft is? The question asks about weight ratios 3.2 8 something and a few other numbers as answers. I cannot find it anywhere I have googled to my wits end.
