Good thing they aren't making majors come back and do TBS.:icon_wink
In a typical squadron I've yet to see more than 2 or 3 300s.

Yes Sir, that would ruin my day as well. I saw the same thing in 1/4 and 2/6 when I was there. A good number of high first class scores but only a few 300s.
I'd guess many of the faster runners didn't max out the pull ups.
That said, Charlie had 6 perfect scores in a single platoon! Don't know what the company total was.
umm...no. my oso has done nothing with me since i got accepted. im a bit worried about that too but i found a bunch of stuff online to study like the 5 paragraph order and ranks and stuff. i think i have seen him once since then?? its tough though cus he is in ohio and i am in VA. i try to call him every couple weeks though to let him know im still alive. am i screwed on that part to?
If they're running the PFT course by LZ-7, it's not a full 3 miles.
Don't know what course they ran but that would certainly explain it
Sounds like you are doing the right stuff and more. When you get there figure out the game fast and play it as well as you can. The rest you don't control so don't sweat it.
quick update for anyone interested. I just called my OSO and he is on leave for the week but I talked to his boss and told him what was up and he said that my OSO would come here anyways on the 15th, I would run the PFT, but because its not within 30 days it wont count. Then because they are so far away, I will run one with the local enlisted recruiter on the 30th, and then when I go home i will run one on the 15th with the recruiter that is near my house. The highest of those two scores will be sent to Quantico as my most recent PFT. By the second one i expect I will be back up near 270 or 280 again.
Ah, lower abs, my bad. Here is a good one: Try laying on a straight bench with your knees bent over the edge at a 90 with your feet flat on the floor and your back flat against the bench. Cross your arms over your chest and do a full situp. As you situp tense your abs and breath out hard like your taking a big dump (although actually sharting is frowned upon in most gyms). Make sure to touch your shoulder blades as you lay back. Repeat these as fast as you can for 25 reps. Rest for 30 seconds in between sets and do a total of 3 sets. At the end of your 3rd set immediately raise your legs up to a 45 angle towards the ceiling and flutter kick (kicks like when you swim the crawl) for 1-2 minutes straight with your knees locked (the longer the better). Adjust the angle of you legs until you feel it burn in your lower abs. Don't mind that you may looks a little fruity while doing the kicks, this final burn on your abs is what will really help your endurance.

Well this sounds interesting, are you using (the back of) your knees to grip the bench end and keep your legs from lifting? Are your arms at your side and hands gripping the bench while doing the kicks? How far do your feet separate?
Cheers.
They did.
Some of us ran the course that starts the other way and bends around toward the IOC building, down to Smith lake rd, up and down a bigger hill, then back.
Your knees should just be overhanging the edge, not really clamped down, but you can use them to hold if you're having trouble without the support. It makes for a better workout when you don't hold on with your knees though.
When you do the kicks, keep your feet close together so that your ankles nearly touch as they pass. On the kicks you will kick one leg up as the other one goes down, but your feet should never go more than about a foot above one another. They are very short, quick kicks. Keep your arms crossed on your chest for the best workout, but you can hold the bench if you need the stability.
