At least you admitted it

1. Bad idea to tell senior members what to do.
2. Do you even know what the Marine Crucible is?

Seriously. You think you have to be mentally tough for the MARINES? HAH!

wow.. are you being serious?
Heres a lesson little kid.
Marines = Toughest Military boot camp in this country
it Requires More Mentally strength then army, navy, and airforce
you wouldnt last 2 days in the corps kid.

Actually I bet I could...
I was looking at the requirements to get in... You have to run like a 6 minutes mile. Do like 50 push-ups, 100 crunches... Not too terribly hard.

Who cares if it's the toughest? None of them are tough. 'Mental Strength' is a crock of shit. You're smart, and dedicated to something, or you aren't. You aren't going to have a psychological breakdown from doing some boot camp drills and running a few miles.

Everyone can pass the requirements im not talking about the requirements im talking about the stress they put on you, and the PT you do every single morning evening afternoon
most people that try to join the marines quit during MCRD (boot camp) because they cant handle it.
thats why its called "The FEW" they only get about 16000 marines every year. army gets way more. army is for the weak who arent strong enough for marines and arent smart enough for the air force

Who cares about the Test.. you take a test i think its like what? every 4 weeks? if you fail you go to PCP Physical Conditioning Platoon. and they train you until you can pass it

BTW. your information on the test is wrong.


Minimum Fitness Requirments for Each PFT Event - Males

Age Pull-ups Crunches 3 Mile Run
17-26 3 50 28:00
27-39 3 45 29:00
40-45 3 45 30:00
46+ 3 40 33:00

You have to score points.
Marine Corps PFTs are scored the following way for males: five points for every pull-up, one point for every crunch, and one point is deducted from 100 for every 10 seconds slower than 18 minutes. For females, about 1.5 points is given per second and one point is deducted from a hundred for every 10 seconds slower than 21 minutes on the 3-mile run. Crunches are scored the same way as males. A male or female Marine must score a total of 135 points between the three events to pass the

17-26 27-39 40-45 46+
225 200 175 150

oh yeah btw. unlike the army they always make you hit muscle failure and keep trying. dont forget puking
cant forget about them hitting you if you do something stupid


You aren't going to have a psychological breakdown from doing some boot camp drills and running a few miles.

Tell that to the people that do have breaddowns.
idiot. you dont know anything

Your way of getting your point across sucks ass, but I agree with pretty much all you say.

Everyone that I know that has been in the Marines, tell me how the Marines break you down, and build you back up into killing machines.


But everyone here are egotists, and will ignore any proof you give to them, so its kind of a wasted effort to provide your valid point..

I'm sorry, I assume like myself, most people learned to deal with personal criticisms and superiors yelling at them when they were in kindergarten.

Muscle failure isn't too frightening in the least. And I deal with people twice the size of any military or marine men I've ever seen daily. I would have no trouble saying a marine was a wimp. They could not kick the shit out of me on the grounds they wouldn't be able to catch me.

The things you're throwing out to prove the marines are tough are pretty much proving to me that they aren't.

Marines are tough, after their training...
And if they can't catch you.. really depends how fast you run. I bet an average marine can run a 5 minute mile and probably around a 17 minute 5k. Now if you're one of those crazy runners that run in the 15 minute 5ks, than of course you can outrun the fools.

Why would I be outrunning him for 5k?

I'm simply using that to gauge one's speed and endurance. It has a good mix of speed and endurance for that distance. You don't think that you could beat a marine sprinting flat out do you?

yeah i know lol.
thanks atleast someone here isnt a retard
yep. exactly what they do army does the same but they dont build you into killing machines. they build you into less pathetic things
and i figured that out along time ago
K GREAT. Good for them good for the people that are twice the size.
you dont see military daily i highly doubt you do. you havnt seen every person in the military so dont give me that bs.
you think navy seals are wimps to dont you?
I bet they would be able to catch you. even one that isnt infantry.
someone in the Infantry MOS will catch your ass in 10 seconds top.

oh yeah. lets see you hike a 15 mile walk n back in the desert full in uniform with kevlar body armor and your rifle.
over 35 pounds

betcha cant do it. panzy

grunts can run faster then that they run so much in the infantry training
morning afternoon night.

I know I could, I run a 53 second half kilometre.
First, Kellimus seems to have very limited knowledge on almost every aspect he argues about, and seems to not know the proper meaning of simple logical fallacies. If you find yourself agreeing with him, chances are you're wrong.

Secondly, I highly doubt that a Navy SEAL or Marine could run a 10 second 100m, although that has little to do with them being wimps. I think you're misconstruing me, they aren't physical wimps, they're MENTAL wimps. You started this argument by claiming marines was more mentally challenging than medical school. That simply isn't true, and for the third time, you're an idiot.

Thirdly, my backpack weighs more than 35 pounds, and the world record for the 5k is 12:37, I hope these Olympic class distance runners that can run "so much faster" than 15 minutes aren't wasting their lives in the service.

where did you get medical class from no one even mentioned that idiot.
There mentally Weak? youre fucking omg. wow.. im done talking to you seriously you are NOT worth arguing
youre the most unrealistic egotistic person i have ever met and especially on the internet thats pretty sad dude. congratulations.

You obviously dont know what a NAVY SEAL is or a MARINE
are you even from USA
and if you are you should just leave your country
dont disrespect your military that puts there life on the line just so you can post on these forums you inconsiderate liberal

Get over the fact. Marines Are better then You and youre whole life. you should get shot for saying there weak

Im Done here. and btw Kellimus is RIGHT. THEY DO BREAK YOU DOWN
Every single MILITARY BOOT CAMP BREAKS YOU DOWN and build you back up from scratch
they break you down from being a civilian.
research something before talking straight out of your ass.
cant argue with idiots. man so impossible

You run a 53 half kilometer... hmmmmm well yes you could just out sprint them.

Alright Syphon, cool. I'm sooooo "dumb" because I never agree with you, and I always have an opinion (which i'm entitled to according to the Terms and Services agreement established on this site)


Yet you can't even spell everY right, And no, dinked. He's a Canadian.. 200x worse than we americans,

Anyways, first off Syphon, you've Ad Hominem Abusive'ed me.. Made a claim that Marines are "mentally weak" with no backing proof, so the Burdon of Proof is on you.. Let's see.. I could go on about what other fallacies you've conducted within the quote, but since you're "always right, and everyone else is wrong", i'll just play into your ego and agree with everything you say

Hi, kids. This is what we call "flaming" and this is what you get banned for.
Another one bites the dust. Though I'm 90% sure it's just SteamBoy on a different IP.
Side note, you really didn't have to register another account. You could just use your old one and ... not flame? If you've changed, I don't care if your name did, too.

So we all agree gangsters bad? K good.

No, ignorant people who don't take any aspects of an equasion into consideration, agree that gangsters are bad.

M'kay?
