I started a running regiment. As much as I appreciate you all... right now, lots of loathing lmao. Ran 5 miles for a 7:10 pace. Then did chest and shoulders.

Question when you do a prt, do they give you the day off after? Cause I am gassed. I couldn’t imagine doing much more today.

I could be wrong, but I believe the first PRT is Friday morning of the first week. Which is then followed the next day affectionately called "Sucky Saturday" where you push (get physically smoked) all day.

This is why I'd recommend getting used to doing things like 200+ pushups scattered throughout the day to limit the physical impact/shock of working all day.

7:10 for 5 miles is really good

That’s a cute thought

Hmmm. Well sounds

That’s the IST. Not an official prt. Really says you meet the standards to remain at OCS.

They call it IST in OCS, but for all intents and purposes it's a PRT with all the appropriate minimums you need to cross over to either remain in your class or roll to H-class. I don't think there is a difference between the IST and PRT except by name?

Satisfactory medium is still the minimum for the initial IST right

If you have the ability to, going to work construction or moving for a couple of months will definitely up your functional endurance. Most of you guys are mid-20s but nonetheless going from an office job (even with a couple of hours of gym time p/week) to constant asphalt pounding will still be a shock for the first two weeks I imagine. Good thing is that unless you injure yourself, the body adapts pretty quick.

Switch jobs? I like being able to pay bills and pay for my gym membership ?
