    I think that's extremely achievable to a regard.
    I mean the process to sign up was more challenging than that.
    But I'm in the Delayed Entry Program, so maybe that's why I'm complaining so much.
    Those can't be your in-uniform standards, that might be like a Marine equivalent to an Army 2-2-2 (A little mini-PT test that you have to pass before you can ship off to basic training.), I was always under the impression that Marines did Pull-ups, Crunches/Sit-ups, and a 3 mile run. I'm positive that Marines run 3 miles for the real deal.

    Though honestly it just sounds like your recruiter is doing his job right. Good on him.

    Indeed.
    That is the "bare minimum" I have to achieve to ship off.
    Now for the Basic Training
    Spoiler warning:
    Training.....
    Sweat......
    Workouts for half the day......
    Drill Instructors Breathing down your necks......
    Stupid Right-Stripping rules......
    3 months with no electronics.......
    Sounds Like an Ideal Vacation

    Okay so I am right then. Realistically speaking 100 crunches is kind of insane, you get 2 minutes do them, 2 a second. I know crunches are easier than sit-ups but that's kind of still insane.

    It could be worst, I had one station training, so I went nearly 15 months without internet.

    Have to.
    I'm doing this to better myself and my crazy, maniacal ways.
    Plus, I won't be thinking about it with everyone else feeling the same way.

    Actually 2 mins equals 120 secs. so you get 1.2 secs to each one.

    Yep.
    Insane.
    We still must try, even with abdominal pain.

    You won't be working out for half the day, believe it or not there isn't enough time in the day for it. Too much stuff you have to learn, a loooooooooooot of classroom time.
