Holiday routine was from 0700 (or 0800 I can't remember lol) - 1300. During this time recruits are allowed to shine boots, write letters, take "hollywood showers", etc. They also have a WIDE variety of church services you can go to on Sundays.

Afterwords, you field day for about an hour. Might do some marching practice. No PT. There really isn't too much that goes on on Sundays. Saturdays and Sundays are also NON-training days.

IDK what kind of world you are living in but you definately PT on saturdays and Sundays. Once liberty ends at 1300 on sunday it is up the the RDC descresion on what he wants to do. I remember some sundays PTing for hours after holiday routine and when it got closer to graduation i remember doing drill practice for hours for the final drill inspection

Excuse you, but I'm just going off of MY experience at bootcamp. I'M not YOU, so I'm sorry that we weren't living in the same world or whatever you wanna call it and didn't have similar bootcamp experiences, but I answered the question based on what I as an INDIVIDUAL went through, but let me clarify this dream world that I'm living in for the OP:

When I said No PT on Sundays, I meant no ORGANIZED PT as in, Freedom Hall or actual, on the POD, In-House PT. I didn't say anything about PTing on Saturdays. The OP asked about SUNDAYS. So I responded keeping in mind that the OP was talking about SUNDAYS.

On OUR POD at bootcamp, field day happened as soon as we secured from holiday routine.

When I said that there isn't too much that goes on on weekends, I meant that it was more freelance for the RDCs to do whatever.

If you're lucky, like myself OBVIOUSLY, you may find yourself in a division that didn't get beat all the time like a lot of other divisions.

How often did you get 'Beat' per day and per week? Not just on Sundays, but during any regular week?

You can get beat ANYtime.

My division... we only got divisional IT (beat) ONCE. My RDCs usually dropped us individually or just dropped our division leaders.

Sometimes we got dropped in groups. Mostly during WTI lol

But me as a person, I was dropped once individually for talking while I was on watch about dolphins... IDK lol

Compared to other divisions, my division and brother div's NEVER got beat... which is kinda true. Especially compared to other people's experiences. In the 2 months I spent at bootcamp, I can count on 2 hands how many times I got beat and the beatings were usually less than 5 minutes -_-

Really!?!? I was under the impression(from things I've read on the internet) that you could expect to get beat 2 or 3 times a day and it might be as long as 45 minutes. My whole concern w/joining the Navy was how much IT we did in addition to PT. I was just worried that if I joined, how I was going to make it if I had to do mountain climbers, 8-count bodybuilders & jumping jacks for an additional 2 or 3 hours a day.

How much you get beat depends on the RDCs. It all up to them. This is just based on my bootcamp experience. Most people I talk to, their division got beat way more than mine did.

You shouldn't worry anyway though. If you're already in some type of shape, regular PT is a walk in the park to be honest with you.

Bootcamp isn't as intense as you think it is. Besides your live fire, firefighting, etc., all it is is... A lot of folding. A lot of cleaning. Some academic classes. Drill practice. 1 hour of organized PT. Chow. Sleep. And the occasional IT session (again depending on your RDCs).

Super easy.

And they stopped doing 8-counts a little before I got to bootcamp. When I went they were doing 10-counts.

Well, I have occasional knee pain from an old injury and a little tightness and swelling.. but it really hasn't stopped me from doing any of the exercises they might have you do at boot camp. Based on what you're saying, I'm pushing myself WAY harder to get in shape then I probably need to... although I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I'm sure the better the shape you're in when you go the better off you'll be.

By the way, the 10 counts just add an extra push up, right? How many of them do they have you do?
