I was just wondering if anyone on here had the same date as me? I leave for BMT on March 21st but im not sure where that puts my indoc date.

I leave for BMT March 23rd. We may end up together.

I am leave the same date as you guys! Our INDOC date is 8 JUN 10.

how did you find out the indoc date? I havnt been told anything

Our BMT graduation coincides with the INDOC schedule posted by a moderator on this site.

o ok,i was told that u might not get into the next one it depends on the class capacity..but yea i meant to say i leave on the 23rd not 21st i just didnt fix it

I leave March 23rd as well, along with 2 others that I train with.

What kind of shape are your training partners in?? I spoke to a kid from cali the other day and is leaving with us and hes like "I run once a weeks and swim 2 or 3 times but thats about it" I was like what the heck?? I think ppl just dont know what they are getting into. Ive been training for 8 months now and am ready to rock n roll!!!

hey. i'm leaving the 23rd as well along with another guy that lives nearby. took my final PAST and am ready to go. i usually go to the pool everyday and have a pool workout bout 4 times a week and the other 3 days ill do water-con and stroke technique. and crossfit 5 days w 3 crossfit endurance wods in the week aswell w/ an occasional ruck. what kind of stuff have you guys been doing? hows your swim times and run times and such?

hey aaron. i am starting BMT on the 23rd as well. the water by far is my strongest point. I swim my 500 in about 8:30-9:00. I can swim about 60-65 meters underwater and do 50's relatively easy as well as hold my breath for 3 and a half minutes. I live next to hurlburt and a colonel here put me through water confidence training.

My running is my weak point but that is my fault for being lazy. i ran a practice past last week and ran 10:32!! sucks i know. i busted my ***** the last week and yesterday i ran 9:59. i do my final test in a week.

my cals are decent. on the test: 11 pullups, 54 pushups, and 69 situps.

we need to push each other to go above and beyond and do extra Workouts before bed during basic training. look forward to meeting you and the team.

ive just been doing the Workouts in the airforce elite book.. i just took my final past test yesterday, i did pretty good. Id say swimming is my strongest too but im a good runner too, steven id workout with yall in basic, cause im not trying to get out of shape when im in there,, and i think they took out the 50 meter underwater so we dont need to train for that

sounds good man. and there is nothing wrong in doing extra lol. the further you can go, the easier the short ones are.

just completed my final PAST test on tuesday. everything improved and i passed. My swim was about the same and i swam easy to conserve for the run. but i finally a 10:05 mile and a half. cals improved to: 12 pullups, 70 pushups, and 85 situps

im good to go finally. look forward to meeting some of you.

yeah i've been training for PJ for about 13 months. prior to that, i was pretty much worthless in the water, not even being able to swim 2 laps without stopping. i've gotten better, swimming the 500 in 10:03. i can swim the underwater 25m easily but i'm struggling doing the 50m. do you guys know if they test the 50m swim in indoc or in pipeline? also, i'm pretty sure they test the "egg-beater" style of treading water so that you can tread with your hands up and out of the water. i really can't do this at all. i've researched it, watched videos, and attempted it so many times but i can't can't get it down. anyone with any additional info on that or tips??

leaving to bootcamp may 11th.

This is the wrong forum for your question Buckten. Attention to detail! I will answer your question anyway. To the best of my knowledge the 50m underwater is not an evaluated exercise, however 1:30 underwaters are and they are way harder than the 50m. The "egg beater" is the preferred method for treading water, but if you can keep your neck and wrists out of the water for the required amount of time you pass. If you know any water polo players, I would ask them for help.

Not to scare any of you wannabe's but the PAST is the easiest thing you will do at indoc, followed by eval days.
