The OCS survival guide I saw on r/newtothenavy was pretty thorough and helpful.

What is everyone doing for their PT?

SNA Select
Sprint runs on mon, long easy run wed, full pft friday. Tuesday and Thursday mix in hiit workouts and push ups and planks.
I’ve been following The PFT Bible by Stew Smith. Definitely not necessary but personally I like having a set routine. I’m not good at making up my own workouts.

this is what I have been doing. If i cannot do the sprints, i go hit the stair stepper. My issue is that I have really weak hip flexors from sitting for long periods due to work.

I find that the constant immense stress of waiting for the board decision has kept me in pretty good shape.

Every time I get a notification from this thread I think it's someone saying the results are out.

Next week looks like the most likely week we’ll hear back. Definitely still hoping for this week though.

Just doing the bodyweight/calisthenics program in there, minus the swimming stuff since that isn't needed for navy OCS and pool access isn't that convenient. Definitely won't get through the full 6 month program unless my ship date is in like January but should be good enough since its for specwar accession which has higher fitness standards, but I'll still be worried about meeting PFT standards if I ship in November lol.
Did the ruck part for the first month and a half just because its good general fitness in my mind, but I'm worried about the running part of OCS so started replacing the ruck with a slow 3 mile run.

I used ChatGPT to generate a workout plan for me. Mondays I have interval sprints (6 x 400m) with 2 min rest between. Tuesday is a tempo run for 20 mins, Thursday is a steady state run (3-6 miles), and Saturday is a long run. Any day I run I also do a variation or combination of planks, push-ups, and pull-ups. Wednesdays and Fridays I swim anywhere between 1100-2000 yards freestyle.
