OCS 08JUL2024 SNA/SNFO BOARD

my recruiter told me for running they won't test your time before you ship out. They will just see if you can run the 1.5 mile.

I ran a full PFT the week before I shipped, rest increments, etc.

Honestly Navy standards are disgracefully low, if you're worried about passing the PRT you should do yourself and teammates a favor by not accepting a commission.

While I agree that the minimums are definitely achievable, some people are probably just wondering what they are so that they can set a better goal for themselves. Not everyone here is a jacked 6'2 prior enlisted Marine

On the bright side there are 2 types of marines “strong marines” or “smart marines.” I have never met one that was both.

I was told by my recruiter that I have to do a PRT before I ship, but there is no longer a scoring before you ship. They’ll ship you to OCS no matter your PRT score.

And then the ist is a good low minimum? Doesn’t sound right to me not going to lie.

Alright let’s settle this good ole debate once and for all. Male standard for good low within the ages of 20-24 is as follows according to mynavyhr is 47 push-ups, 1.40 min plank and 12 min 1.5 mile. These are the bare minimum’s and they are not physically demanding.

Just shoot for the best and hopefully you will find yourself exceeding expectations

For the guys worried about cardio a great and easy way to improve cardio without running is biking. Consistent biking will improve cardio vascular endurance

Join a race about a month out and force yourself to get ready for it, that’s the only way I can force myself to run, I’d rather lift lol

I usually like to break into the big cat exhibit at my local zoo with a couple of ribeyes stuffed in my pockets. Does wonders for my v02 max.

Agree, but running is way more stressful on the legs than cycling. IMO you should start accumulating running miles to get your body used to that wear and tear to reduce your chances of potentially getting hurt at OCS.
