ND Marshall is on a distinguished road
Default ND Start to finish questions.

I just got my ND contract and so I have been surfing the web looking for some helpful insights on everything from 800's Div bootcamp, to prep, dive school, and beyond. I've found a lot of good info but also a lot of conflicting info mostly due to outdated info so I would like to ask a few questions for anyone that can help and hopefully has became an ND within the last 2-3 years.

I found this post which has a schedule :

-3:30 am – Revelie, wake up + fix bunk.
-4:00-5:00 am- Get yelled at for bad bunks.
-5:00- 5:10 am- Travel to galley and eat.
5:10 – 6:00 am- March to hall for PT ( P.E.).
6:00-8:00 am- 300 pushups/ situps + 2 mile run.
8:00 to 8:50 am-March back to ship.
8:50- 9:00 am- shower, hygiene, laundry.
9:00- 11:00 am- fold clothes (PERFECTLY).
11:00 am - 2:00 pm- Classroom and sack lunch.
2:00 – 4:00 pm- In house PT (basically yelling + PE)
4:00 – 5:30 pm- Forward AST ( study hour while standing).
5:30 – 6:30 pm- March to pool.
6:30 – 7:30 pm- Swim two miles + 50 Dead hang curl-ups.
7:30- 8:30 pm- March to ship.
8:30 – 8:40 pm- Eat dinner (he said the food is good just not time to eat it)
8:40 to 9:30 pm- Clean compartment w/ division.
9:30- 10:30 pm- Get mail, iron and fold clothes.
10:30 pm – 3:30 am sleep (unless you have watch)

this post was from 2012 and seems to be a secondhand account of the experience so I just want to make sure that it holds true still. Mainly things like the 10 minute meals, 2 mile swims daily, how far are the marches, and is it actual marching or running everywhere?

I've also read that everyone loses conditioning while at boot camp originally I thought it was due to a lack of PT but then I read that it was actually due to a lack of recovery time and no time for your body to heal. I developed tendonitis in my achilles a few months ago from overtraining. So what I need to know is how much running every day do I need to expect. I have 117 days until shipping out I plan to be able to run 4-5 miles solid 5 days a week at -7:30 pace. But if its going to be more than that I need to try and adjust my schedule accordingly.


I've seen alot of talk about treading weight with a 25lbs plate and I would just like to clarify its 5 mins, both hands on the plate, with fins correct?
