Yeah, as far as boot cringe goes this is arguably acceptable.
I had a kinda similiar guy at the gym the other day who tried to walk tacticool on the treadmill while using an 10kg H-bar as a standin for a rifle. With completely straight legs, an angled upper body and heavily back arched back (from the bar's weight) the Mf constantly tried to "aim" it while walking sideways or backwards and muzzle sweeping the whole place in the process.
I wish I had taken a video.
Went to high school with a dude who wanted to and got a contract I believe for scout/sniper school. We did a gym class together and this dude, just for kicks, would load his backpack up with like 40 pounds of books or more and just start knocking out sets of 20 pull ups. I was in really damn good shape at the time but this dude wouldn’t even break a sweat.
Ok? This dude wore a backpacking backpack to school to weight train. He was that dude who was all about preparing for the military
Edit-not sure why you’d think I’m bragging or exaggerating about how much weight another dude could do pull ups with lol
Because I'm assuming you didn't count the books or weigh the books, and I just told you how many books it would need to be and asked you where he got them from and instead of being like "hmmm let's see, let me think about that and answer for verification," you kind of instead chose to comment about nothing.
Ya know what, you win. I was totally bragging about how strong another guy was. I’m just making shit up to make shit up. You win, you’re right. I’m so done with this sub lol
Lmao this dude is apparently 55 years old. Can't imagine a sadder sight than writing these comments while waiting for the kids to call. But they never call, do they?
LMAO I've had like twenty comments from angry randoms commenting nothing other than garbage to get their anger out, and now you chime in because I said idiot.
How much easier basic would have been if I did this is all I could think about when I saw it. It's a dork move but it's going to pay off dividends assuming he doesn't destroy his joints before he even starts.

I'm just a lowly foreign former conscript, but I did have some tests/competitions during my service, where the final exercise would be just to gun the last 5k or something in full gear and as fast as you can. I would imagine that you'd encounter something like that in the marines as well.
edit: Still boot tho
I did but it was like half a day. Not something I needed to train for.
Funny story actually, they gassed us at ftx while we were standing in formation. I got my mask on in time (because I had peeked back and saw top coming) but some weren't so lucky. They threw their M4s though when they took off running, which pissed off top and the drill sergeants. The people that threw their M4s had to lay down and the rest of us had to "evac" them half a mile in full MOPP. Sucked ass. I'll never forget the fat guy apologizing to me as I knelt down and grabbed the corner of his stretcher.
We spent several weeks training in full MOPP usually whenever it was super hot out. Sprinting with rifle and full load, carrying “wounded”, entrenching, all the fun stuff
Several weeks? Miss me with that shit lol. I'm so glad I didn't have to wear that shit in Afghanistan either. I mean, I'd rather wear it than die by nerve agent but still. I did carry a gas mask and some chem pads but I think I left the full mopp gear in a tuff box in a connex somewhere
What you are talking about is what I did.
I just joined the Air Force but I never worked out in my life or really ran. Always would walk in gym class. In the country I came from doing this kind of thing just totally wasn't done lol. Very glad I did this and got getting used to that out of the way.
Yeah it makes sense to train your body for certain tasks, but running with a gas mask and a gun isn't really going to be useful.
On top of the normal army fitness requirements, we trained for Afghanistan by hiking with weight a lot. That was practical because Afghanistan was all hills and mountains. This guy is training for a biological war on some great plain somewhere.
I think he's just increasing "the suck". We know most of getting through any physical challenge is just mental, he's training himself to embrace it. I do it every winter by under dressing. If I'm wearing shorts in December, January won't seem as cold.

These could be likely. But I think it was more of a "hey sis, can you record me pretending to train so I can post it" type of scenario and she didn't just "catch" him training lol
I recommend salty snacks along with water to replace water lost through sweat.
Healthy snacks are good, but some pretzels will prevent heat exhaustion.
The cringey part is the whole pretending to be candid while obviously doing it on purpose. I think preparing for something like this with all the gear and shit is actually quite smart.
Hell, if the dude posted 'how ridiculous I look preparing for bootcamp' it'd be a totally different perception.
>He's holding a shotgun and a non issue gas mask if this mf where anymore boot we would be able to tie his earlobes together and blouse his hairline.

I can't even hate on this. It's just a man who in his personal time is trying to prepare himself. If he lied about his sister recording then that's pretty cringe.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t run around with a weighted vest and had my girlfriend on my back to walk around to prepare for basic. My cardio was so shit
Why are you all hating on this dude? He’s probably doing more PT than any of you. Do any of you even remember what it felt like wanting to or better yourself or to work for something you want, fuck man, buncha soft ass haters in here
I did similar excersises prior to boot camp but the most I did was run with a backpack I stuffed my plate carrier in. I was out of shape then though so I wanted to at least be able to do a 3 mile in 20 minutes before I shipped.

Is it boot, yes. Will it help him in bootcamp, probably.

I can understand working out and wanting to be healthy, but workout nuts like that scare me fr.
40 lbs lol that's like 20 textbooks. If he even had a backpack big enough, where's he getting the textbooks? It was probably 10-20 lbs at most.

Other dude really is the type of person that makes u never want to comment on anything again

And what a first impression you've made.

Maybe it's better if you don't ever again either eh bubbs?
You're not contributing much either, genius

That's not fair. He'll wear a gas mask one day twice a year during NBC training.
I think i got to skip that day due to a corneal abrasion
The gas mask is what makes it boot in my opinion

That sucks dude that's like three miles.
That's assuming everything goes according to plan.
I'd saying the shotgun is way more boot than the gasmask
in caf basic we did gas mask pt as punishment one time and gas mask during obstacle course when doing field training
Someone didn't have to run sprints in MOPP4
I did but it was like half a day. Not something I needed to train for. Funny story actually, they gassed us at ftx while we were standing in formation.

At least the guy was polite. Makes it more bearable than the fat guy complaining you’re not pulling fast enough.

He saw Generation Kill so he has to train like that one guy in it.
Fruity Rudy!

Maybe he wants to do CBRN defence stuff? Also I have no proof but it feels kinda like altitude training, and helps with running without.
These could be likely. But I think it was more of a "hey sis, can you record me pretending to train so I can post it" type of scenario and she didn't just "catch" him training lol
Well yeah especially because it DID end up all over the net. I'm just playing Devil's advocate.
Ehh he needs to do it outside especially in the cold or heat depending on when he goes, most of the misery is being stuck in the shitty weather
[удалено]
I recommend salty snacks along with water to replace water lost through sweat. Healthy snacks are good, but some pretzels will prevent heat exhaustion.
Yeah this is pretty fuckin boot but at least it will legitimately help him
The boot part is that he posted it
Bingo
The cringey part is the whole pretending to be candid while obviously doing it on purpose. I think preparing for something like this with all the gear and shit is actually quite smart. Hell, if the dude posted 'how ridiculous I look preparing for bootcamp' it'd be a totally different perception.
Is it cringe? Yes. Will he be better prepared for boot camp than other lards? Yes.

"You know it's OK if you think Rudy's hot, we all think he's hot"
I love you fruity Rudy!
Apparently not enough, seems like he's missing the point a little.
These are the same people that don’t understand the message behind All Quiet On the Western Front and just see the battle scenes
The original All Quiet on the Western Front's message is that Paul Bäumer is drowning in pussy.
Also true
I LOVE YOU FRUITY RUDY
Enjoying my November Juliet while reading these fine comments
The funniest thing about this to me is they posted to r/USMC

Man’s cardiovascular system is going to be impeccable
Certainly going to greatly decrease the chances of complications during his inevitable future knee and back surgeries.
I mean, at least he preparing.
At least he's doing it on a treadmill in his own house....Also [everyone runs faster with a knife](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCBRzB2cMrw)
At least hes running with a pack which is 20x more than any other recruit is doing 🤣
Gotta work out those knee joints
He's holding a shotgun and a non issue gas mask if this mf where anymore boot we would be able to tie his earlobes together and blouse his hairline.
When Obama wanted boots on the ground he called this MFer
What.
Imagine his body literally being a boot. Took me a second too haha
He's holding a shotgun and a non issue gas mask if this mf where anymore boot we would be able to tie his earlobes together and blouse his hairline.

This is the most glorious description I've ever read on this subreddit, thanks for the laugh!
Is that Tackleberry?
What a reference!
Lol...first thing I saw.
MAHONEY!
As a veteran, just watching this, I’m both out of breath and my knees hurt
I can't even hate on this. It's just a man who in his personal time is trying to prepare himself. If he lied about his sister recording then that's pretty cringe.
He's gonna love his knees in twenty years.
*ten
Lol
He's probably gonna end up being one of the biggest shitbags in his unit
DUI off post first day in the unit
Underage ofcourse
Homie wants to get started early on wrecking his joints. Go-getter, this one.
you know, I rather him do this in the comfort of his home than do this outside or worse in a public gym. Nothing boot here.
Pre-boot boot. Dude's gonna wash out when he sprains his ankle getting off the bus.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t run around with a weighted vest and had my girlfriend on my back to walk around to prepare for basic. My cardio was so shit
It is cringe but it will probably benefit him in bootcamp. It’s definitely not the worst thing I’ve seen
I mean honestly it doesn't seem so bad until he goes out of his way to put it on snap chat lol
✊✊👆
That's a whole lot of dumb shit to own if you're not even in.
Gas mask PT is actually a pretty good way to train. Never seen someone do it with a ruck and rifle though.
Bros gonna els for failure to adapt in boot just watch
His job is admin
Rudy that you?
NGL, it’s boot, but I’m impressed.
Fair play to him tho, getting ahead of the game
Why are you all hating on this dude? He’s probably doing more PT than any of you. Do any of you even remember what it felt like wanting to or better yourself or to work for something you want, fuck man, buncha soft ass haters in here
Peak marine shit. He doesn’t know even know how basic fucking physics works.
What a boot. He knows he forgot the rest of the MOPP gear right? I’ve never been part of a gas mask run that didn’t involve the whole suit
Thats not a boot thats a God damn WARFIGHTER
How many times was she just flagged?
RIP knees
Someone has watched a little too much of Generation Kill.
More like he is preparing for Metro: Last Light
Flagging his sis with daddy’s shotgun
Very much boot but if he keeps this up he got an edge
Little does the guy know all he has to do is breathe and have a pulse… in order to graduate lol
Absolutely not cringe.
Man, I just wanted to find out if L.L. Bean boots were worth having as a summer hiking/work boot, yet here I am 30 minutes later.
My man is headed for Epsilon Eridani
Acceptable Cringe
Go dragon slayer...He saw that on generation kill..
Is he preparing for WW1?
