How much did you make your recruits run? Five miles per day every day? And was that at your discretion or the marine corps ?

Recruits? T-1 through T-73 at MCRD is scheduled down to each period of instruction, each day, to include PT. PT was usually run in series (2 platoons) or companies (4 platoons). Actual running for time and distance was done then.Originally Posted by Black Diamond
"Thrashing privates" was usually done during transit time. I was never a big fan of pushups/mountain climbers/bends-n-thrusts for no reason.
So I was watching Crossfit 2018 and they were talking how they had five days of Hell to endure. I was wondering why only 5? Drill Instructor school was 9 weeks. Boot camp is 13 weeks. Guess they walk on their hands better.

Oh yeah. The distance was 3-5 miles. Usually 3. That is minimum requirement for Marines. 3 miles in 27 minutes or less.

Oh, sure, he might act fierce... like a fuzzy little kitten attacking a ball of yarn.
