MCRD San Diego – Platoon 1055 – MRP – Graduated Platoon 2059. Class of 91.
Think I did about 12 pull-ups on IST – was 20 / 80 upon Graduation & pretty much remained at this level for the rest of my four years.

I weighed 165 LBS. On the initial PFT I did 120 sit-ups, 24 pull ups. On the final PFT I did the same. I scored highest for the series 293/300. Meritorious promotion to PFC. S/F. SSGT. Tony Woconish 76-‘82.
AMEN BROTHER NICK!!!!!!………Bob 1381
July 1965, MCRD SD, 18 in – 18 out. 0 now.
I recall doing 4 in my PRT. I got the 4th one after I saw the DI in front of me put on his black leather gloves and make a fist ! Motivation!
I was doing 20 when I got in 31 when I got out
forgot to say now I do zero
I was in good shape when I went to PI for the only reason I did sports (Wrestling) in all my 4 years of High school. I did 12 pull ups when I got in and 12 when I got out. Also I was 178 pounds when I went to PI and left at 165 pounds. 1972-1974 USMC
I started with 9 but I gained 30 lbs in boot camp. I finished doing only 6…
How in the hell do you guys remember how many fn pull ups you did ?I find that fn AMAZING !!
After almost 53 years I can’t even remember doing pull ups! I’m sure I did ,but damn if I remember Nick
I ran track in high school mostly did not have much upper body strength so i probably could not do to many when I got to boot but just like Harry 1371 stated I did pass PT and graduated that’s what matters. Bill 0331
Went thru MCRD PI in 1973
Initially did 12 pullups and 17 for final PFT
Now today at 63…not so good

Yea, I did 3 at first and 20 at the end! Semper Fi Cpt/Sgt David Coughlin Marine Mustang!
I think it was 15 at start of bootcamp, 25-30 at final PT test at graduation. Only saving grace was I only weighed 150-155 #. By the time I came back to CONUS in 1961, I weighed 185#.
After 53 years I don’t remember how many I did only that it was never enough for our DI’s. I must have got better because I was able to do enough of everything to pass the final fitness test. PI, Platoon 215, 1966…Bob 1381
