"Drunk PFT is no way to go through life, Son." Dean/GySgt Wormer.

Man only did 9 pull ups on his pft then got caught lying when he reported 19

Even if you get dropped for a physical, leadership, or academic event, you can be invited to return next cycle with the input of the staff. I’m living proof of this (physical and leadership failure). The one unforgivable failure is an integrity violation.

Integrity violation

If 2 weeks of not running makes you fail your run, you have other issues to worry about.

Guy who is being interviewed, we’re you dropped on an integrity violation? Own up.

There’s no way. If he was prepared before he could not have lost that much fitness in 2 weeks.

10$ says integrity violation....

So true. Cardio is very big. Especially in any infantry unit. And especially, like he said, if you're an officer and NCO, you better be in top shape and at least make your PT runs and PT test. When l used to be an infantry NCO, I ran on the weekends to make sure I was ready to run first thing Monday morning. You have to set a good example for the lower enlisted big time.

I’m surprised he even was selected into OCS with a subpar pft; most everyone that goes has at least a 280 pft

Hard cap, I’ve been out for 4 years and gained like 30 pounds and could still pass a pft. 2 weeks and not pass?? Yea right.

Dude was on a 2 week cookie dough bender 😂

We had a covid outbreak while we were there, and were locked in the rooms for 3 weeks. While we were all concerned, there were minimal failures. Take accountability for your actions, man. You didn't show up prepared.

Bro did not lose his cardio in two weeks 😂

Lost your cardio in 2 weeks…so you never had any 😂

If he failed his PFT after 2 weeks of rest, he was going to fail anyway. Cardio or no cardio wasn't gonna change that outcome.

That's not why you failed. You just can't pt my guy. 😂 I passed my first pft from being a couch potatoe and I got a 200

I've looked into the Marine OCS programs before, and their running standards are no joke. OSO told me the average candidate the gets selected gets at lease a 270 on their PFT in order to be competitive. Average OCC selectee can run a sub 22:00 3-mile run. Granted, these are not hard numbers, just a trend analysis.

If you failed a PFT after two weeks of inactivity, there’s a bigger problem.

Yes running as always the most important thing, it can overwrite anything.... ANYTHING in the military, good or bad

Imagine taking 2 weeks off and I can’t pass a pt test.

If only jumping jacks, burpees, push ups, situps, planks, and mountain climbers existed.

You have the ground brother. It all starts with you and the ground.

Integrity violation.

Yeah I came off of leave after 3 weeks of drunken stuper and ran a pft the day after, still drunk and kept it sub 18 min. If your pt is trash, that’s how you fail after not pting. Dude could have ran around the barracks. Parking lot and no one would be at the O course. Dude is making excuses for being trash at OCS. Doubtful he even could get 20 pull ups. I’ve been out over a decade and still will pass a pft with a damn gas mask on. For those who say cap, I train with an altitude mask at least twice a week. It’s not that hard to run.

As a cross country runner looking to be a marine officer this is encouraging

I remember during COVID I shipped out to MCRD , before we were allow to start our training we had to stay quarantined in a hotel room for 2 weeks straight, glad my room mate at that time & I decided to do 60x- 100x burpee a day & a ab circuit throughout the quarantine to keep our endurance , you’d be surprised how many recruiters failed just in receiving week & had to get picked up by another Company cuz of that 😂

bro forgot to improvise, adapt, and overcome

One funny one this was about 20 years back a whole company had to be quarantined because someone contracted something, they graduated 2-4 weeks after us

Blue Falcon flies again. You never had it to begin with.

I graduated from Army OCS in 1996 after 10 years of active duty as a enlisted/NCO. I served a additional 21 years as a commissioned officer.

Bruh those uniforms look so fucking good

I have some advice. If you want to be an officer. Join a different branch first or go reserves.

He is reading the other phone.

You can work out anywhere lol. For Cardio if you can’t jog do jump and jacks, run in place or jump rope

I’m glad that everyone in the comments are calling out his bs.

That reservist ribbon tho….

Dude doesn’t even believe himself when he says he lost all that cardio in 2 weeks

All that cardio gonna wreck them knees

I actually went thru bmt and my entire flight got covid. We got quarantined in hotels mid bmt and when I came back I did better on the pt test than I had before. Granted, I lost a few lbs and me and my buddies spent some time jogging in place but I went from like a 12 min mile and a half to a 10 and maxed out on sit-ups and did about 55 pushups.

True the running they do is no joke

Burpees my guy, burpees.

Don’t worry, I’ve been training for this for 7 years so I’m good

Butter bars are adorable

You can do cardio in the barracks. Jump rope is pretty solid. To work on core just do crunches or Russian twists with a medicine ball. Use a pull up bar you attach to a door frame. Would I have done this when I was in? Lol, no. Now that I'm out I'm in the best shape I've ever been in. Marine corps kills your motivation depending on your shop / unit.

Inmates have joined the chat… talm bout he couldn’t get no cardio in his room… yeah ard he don’t got that self drive. Where there’s a will there a way.

Yeah I call BS

I knew a gunny that spent his time on covid quarantine running 10ks around his room

Burpees are great when you can’t get outside.

You didn’t “lose your cardio because of covid” and fail the PFT. You failed the PFT because you were lazy and didn’t give it your all. Good marines and soldiers take responsibility for their own failures.

Couldn't do 3 miles under 28 minutes is very embarrassing

Damn that uniform is fire 🔥 Marines got Army beat 😢

Navy my man😎 marines are honestly the grunts

Although I mock the present day Air Force as much as possible, the Royal Canadian Air Force had a confined-space exercise handbook, a copy of which I had, and lost by misadventure. But it included exercises for tone, strength, and endurance, including a running substitute which had a name similar to "jumping stride". It definitely worked all of the running muscles. [The exercise begins with heels together, legs straight but knees and ankles relaxed, upper arms at sides, forearms horizontal, fists clenched and forward, as in running. To execute, the person flexes arches and thighs to effect a vertical hop, and while rising and falling, shifts the left foot forward, right foot back, as if making a 30-inch step, simultaneously shifting the right forearm forward and left forearm back. The knees and arches must be slightly bent and relaxed to absorb the landing shock. Part of this energy is rebounded into a slight vertical hop, with left leg brought back, and right brought forward, arms shifting appropriately. While this can be done at 120 bpm, 90 is acceptable. It is definitely work, as there is no forward momentum to help the legs stretch in stride. This means the burn will be stronger for a shorter effort. Because all muscles get involved, it is more intense than the supine bicycle kick.]

Tbs same thing. 20 days locked in the barracks room. initial pft, 50% fail rate as in 50% ran slower than 24 min.

He has 4 damn ribbons and can't pass!!😂😂😂😂😅

I don’t really but it. I don’t think your gonna lose so much in only two weeks. You most likely weren’t prepared when you arrived. A completely physical fit person could probably sit on the couch and just eat absolute garbage for a month and still pass a PFT. I realize that officers at OCS need a 250+ to begin training but still.

Run run run….welcome to the usmc. If not running you are pt’ing. Compare formation lines in all the services and you’ll see immediately which ones takes the pft seriously, as the bellies stick out like in the chair force and navy, depending mos with army

Bruh how do you fail a PFT?

The only way that would have happened is if they were already failing, close to failing or a brand new area that he was never at like much higher elevation. 2 weeks doesnt cause instant failure.

For everyone saying he's not owning up, he's using a lot of "I lost", "I failed" phrases to describe himself. Sounds like he's taking plenty of responsibility. Could he have done better, like some light exercises IN the barracks to maintain some level of cardio? Yes, absolutely, but the only thing I hear him blaming is himself.

stairs and jump rope are pretty good

Is there a rank requirement to go from enlisted to officer in the marines?

Yeah Bro Cardio is a Really Big Thing👍❤️🤘

How do all these people know dude got an integrity violation? He’s still a Marine, something I always wish I would’ve been able to say I was. I passed on the opportunity when I was younger and now I’m way too old. I’ll always regret that.

Wow! So much stitching! What was said in the uncut version?

Was quarantined in barracks during covid as well- you got to run around inside barracks room for that PT 🇺🇸🇺🇸

As a Doc, I’d always hook my marines up with IVs before a PFT and make sure they were hydrated. Never had a Marine fail a PFT, even after our binges.

Squats, martial arts kicking and jumping jacks should help you keep cardio up.

So, if he " got kicked out", where did he get the uniform?

His failure is a blessing in disguise for others

I had to quarantine for two weeks and actually had Covid and then went to MAIC the day after quarantine. We had to get a 1st class PFT and CFT performed on the same day. If this is your excuse makes sense you’re not an officer.

If you lost your cardio in only 2 weeks, you never had it to begin with. You will obviously degrade somewhat in that time, but if you are passing by so little that two weeks off fucked you up, you need to rethink your PT program.

I was in the infantry in the 82nd airborne and we ran a lot…. After I got out I drank booze, started smoking, and sat in Ft. Living room for 6 months before I realized what I was doing to myself…. I was also medically broken and had many things that were not functioning properly. My first attempt at a 2 mile run still was at 14 minutes out of shape and broke… This soldier was never in shape or he is thinking people are that ignorant

Cardio can be done even in your room. Jump roping jumping jacks, running in place. My girlfriend trains hard in her room.

For everyone saying they have taken time off from running and still passed their PFT remember that Officers need to have a 1st Class to "pass" especially to qualify for OCS and to be at OCS.

If your failing a pft after 2 weeks I go 4 pft undone from deployments “2 years” and score excellent this is no excuse - 10 years active duty navy

Excuses are like assholes

Only thing I learned from basic about running is "it causes cancer" 😂

People in these comments have no idea what OCS is like or how hard it is to maintain cardio if you’re not good at. First of all to even induct at OCS you need to run a sub 24 minute 3 mile. Someone who’s borderline in the 23 minute range it’s possible to fail after 2 weeks inactivity. Why they didn’t let him remediate I have no ideas because they usually give people a chance to retake the PFT at OCS and after that if they fail then they get sent home.

i haven’t done a pft in four years and i can still get a first class. never understood how marines fail pfts

Burpees help with cardio

For longest i mever understood why officers always ran and were so so fast. Then i realized it's how they run away from the consequences of their bad actions or run to the front of the line for awards.

Those two weeks really made the difference 🙄 no hard feelings, semper

Planks? My mother does planks😢 my poor Corps

He's headed to accomplish great things as a Motor T officer.

What would be a good MOS to get if your trying to get your bachelor's?

typical wanna be officer

2 weeks isnt enough to lose anything but the edge off your established base of cardio.

How the hell you fail a PFT, I never showed up to PT for 2 months straight and ended up getting a 280 PFT

If you got a space of 6 ft by 6 ft you can do plenty of pt sir

As a prior enlisted Marine he really should have known better!

I fail to believe that if you were truly prepared, and not train for the bare minimum, 2 weeks would not make much of a difference for a pt test... I got hurt a few times in a 17 year career, never in 2 weeks of no pt, drop push-ups or situps by more than 2 or 3, nor did it cause my run to add more than 15 seconds...

No excuses

Stuck in his room for 2 weeks so he was unable to do any PT. I guess he's NEVER EVER seen how them boys workout in prison in a 6x9 cell locked up 24/7!

You can easily PT in your barracks room .. This guy just didnt have the motivation to do it ..

Its well known cardio doesnt drop that quickly. Every 10-14 days, a perecntage of fitness is lost, not the whole thing, or even half the fitness!!

My advice would be to not join the military at all, or just the 4 yrs necessary to get your GI bill & pay off any debts you might have or stack your paper and dip.

“…or if you’re gonna fail, at least have a better excuse than this one here”

Well, I ran Track in HS but didn’t have a Bachelors Degree lmao
