Good Morning to everyone and have a happy thanksgiving!

 

[WannabeSquid]

Before I get all bitter whenever the results come out, I want to say I’m truly thankful for those that helped me with this application. Whoever makes it, I’m proud of you. With all my heart.

The fat lady is warming up but she isn't singing yet, don't give up hope until we see official results. I know things feel really grim and I'm feeling that right along with you :/

most people at Navy OCS will run a 10:30 1.5 which is the same pace as a 21 minute mile.

Ya they say you should got to OCS unless you’re running a 21 min 3 mile

These are both incorrect and nonsense.

There were probably fewer than 20 people who could run a sub 10:30 1.5 in my class and I'm being generous with that estimate. Heck, I don't think most of my class could sustainably run for 21 minutes.

Should you still train for the run? Absolutely. Do you need to shoot for a 10:30 1.5? Absolutely not.

Jogging slowly for 21 minutes isn't that hard is it? I mean I wouldn't do that with any impressive pace at all but I feel like anybody that's just somewhat physically fit could keep their legs moving for half an hour right? (To be clear, if I ran for half an hour it would be slow as heck but I'd keep moving)

Not if you're in halfway good shape, no 21 minutes slow jog should not be a problem.

But you'll be surprised by folks. In every class people show up extremely unprepared where they fail and roll for IST or BCA. I'm not talking about they prepped and someone didn't like their form. I'm talking 20+ minutes 1.5 mile or can't do more than a 1 minute plank.

There was someone in my class who went to OCS in 2019, got booted for the IST. Comes back in 2021, fails the initial IST again and then more stuff down the line, so they booted them again.

I freaking SUCK at planks and feel like I can't move after doing one but I can still hold one for 70 seconds haha. I guess if you never played sports growing up and sit around all day it just does things to your body.

Yes a 10min/mile pace for 20 is def doable. I do it almost every day for 2 miles lol
