Im planning on joining either the USMCR as an 0311 or ANG as an 11B. I do firearms competitions and backpacking and feel like I would love the training and learning about Tactics as well as just to serve in general.
Ive heard NG that guys get more access to follow on schools but besides that which has better initial and follow on training? Which would give me more hands on experience and quality training?
Just got back from being dropped in boot camp due to a tattoo, prior to my enlistment I started laser tattoo removal behind my ear & my recruiter talked me into going through MEPS knowing it’s still there. Went through MEPS perfectly fine, when it came down to shipment there was just some spots with ink plus some red pigments so my recruiter told me to go through boot camp and if I was ever questioned to claim it as a birthmark, easier said than done. I’m now being sent home & was told to come back in 6 months, my paper work for discharged is under “waiver denial” & “erroneous” if I complete my removal & put in a waiver to come back after 6 months to bootcamp what are the odds of me being able to come back? I’m told it’s possible but I feel like my chances of re-enlistment are low.
Please help/ advise 🙏🏻
Current stats (female)
Run: 1.5 mile in 16:00-16:30 currently.
I need to do the ist validation in 4-5 weeks and currently need to get my run time down to 14:00 (down 2 mins) in that time.
Plank: 2:45
Pull-ups: 4
Pushups 30-40
My run time is a bit slower due to a couple past injuries and over training between PT and my own so I haven’t been recovering or improving as well. I’ve only been in the program a few weeks though.
How can I best cut my run time down that quickly without running every day and increasing risk of injuries?
Outside of pt I do speed intervals and distance running
