    Default Marine pushups...

    Is there supposed to be a difference from 'Marine Corps' pushups, and regular pushups? (Other than the fact that in the Marines 2 regular pushups only counts as one of their pushups).

    I remember you talking about getting into the marines before, congrats on making the cut. How is it?
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    Yea gratz too gally. Looks like you are training regular whether you like it or not now, eh?

    Don't know much about the marines and so on, but do they have any sort of boxing available there for you, or are you still close to home to keep up as you were going?

    After all that man-training, do you think you're now in fighting shape?

    I take it that was a 3 day selection course as I'm sure you won't have time or access to the net during basic training.

    Or is the Navy different to the army then in use of computers during basic.

    Super intense, didn't a woman pass the marine course, so it can't be hard, you should have joined the para's mate, much tougher
