Could you get into the Marines?

[Tasdik]

To get into the Marines you have to do:

1. 20 pull ups *not chin ups*

2. 100 crunches

3. Complete a 3 mile run in 18 minutes

So could you do it?

[Miguez]

2 I can.

The other ones I would if I had to

[.curve]

No, but at the same time I wouldn't want to. My ASVAB scores proved I would be wasting knowledge in the Marines or the Army, and I needed a more thinking based field like the Air Force or Navy.

[iSinnnn]

1 and 2, yeah
3 after i started to run again.

but i don't want in the marines so it doesn't matter.

[Holo]

The first two of course I could.
The last one...Put me in a car 2.9 of the 3, and then let me run the rest sure.

[Tasdik]

I can't do very many pull ups. Their so much harder then chin ups, I can only do like 5.

I can do the crunches easy.

I haven't ran in a while, but I may start up again so that I can do 3 miles in 18:00 minutes.

[ltsune]

The number 1 and number 2, i can

But i still don't want to get into the marines, i would rather play silkroad lol xD

1. I cant even do ONE ):

2. Hell No, i could do maybe like 50 untill i start vommiting

3. I barely ran 1mile in 8minutes.

I wouldnt be able to getinto the Marines, to top it off, i can't swim

[BloodyBlade]

Crunches are easy, pulls ups wouldn't be that hard but I really hate running.

Nah, I would choose covered-ops above silkroad. But that's just me.

It are the ones with the bar right? when you hang on it, and pull yourself up untill your chest is at the same height as the bar?

2 and 3 of course. I've never once been able to do a chin up or a pull up. I'm pretty sure the hell that is marine boot camp is much worse than this though.

[Isis]

Yeah no sweat...



Can't do a couple of 100 yards without being out of breath.

Pull up =

A chin up, which is much easier is like a pull up. only your hands are facing you. And not pointing outwards.

Haha, I am reasonably in shape. But no where near what I'd like to be, so this is kind of my goal I suppose

[Swindler]

To get into the Marines you have to do:

1. 20 pull ups *not chin ups* Easy

2. 100 crunches Easy

3. Complete a 3 mile run in 18 minutes Hell No, I havent runned for years.

So could you do it?

[Tasdik]

Damn it. Someone post a vid of yourself doing 20 pull ups.

[Blindfire]

I thought you had to do all three in 18 minutes.

[Azilius]

Can do them all pretty easily..but I'm young and in shape. Not entirely sure about the pull ups but I could probably after 1-2 weeks if I can't already.

[Tasdik]

This is what I want to be able to do

[Isis]

This is what I want to be able to do

I can do that with my hands tied behind me back

[pipigrande]

To get into the Marines you have to do:

1. 20 pull ups *not chin ups* Haven't tried and it looks difficult.

2. 100 crunches easy

3. Complete a 3 mile run in 18 minutes easy

So could you do it?

I wouldn't join the Marines.

[Snoopy]

I believe I'd be capable of doing all. Easiest for me would be 3 mile run (I was district champion at cross country). I do pull up's, crunches, and push up's each day when I go to the gym - so hopefully they wouldn't be too hard to complete.

I can do number 2 and 3, but i find pull ups a lil hard :\

[DistortedMind]

Lol then get your Ass of the PC and get to the gym O.o

[EvGa]

Pull ups are a lot harder than a majority of you think.

The crunches are easy, the running not so much.

I'm almost 100% sure you don't have to be able to meet these requirements up front. You go through boot camp, if you make it through boot camp you're a Marine. You don't show up and perform those three tasks and they "let you in". Doesn't work like that. Perhaps they work you up to being able to perform at that level, but you're not expected to be able to do that cold turkey straight off the bus.

BUT, if you're planning to go into the Marines.. it would greatly benefit you to be in tip top shape before you get there.

[Love]

i can do all but the 3 mile run without effort, cardio is the sucks in all that.

with moderate training i think it would take me 3-4 months to run that .

[InviSniper]

No to all 3, too fat.

Edit: Is there a time limit on the crunches?
