Impressive to be sure, but at most bases in the Marine Corps, at least the ones I was at, there is no way you could leap over the high log after the wall. At the School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton, the wall itself is so high many a Marines have trouble getting over it, and then that high log is a real jump. So, I suspect the O-course at TBS is designed to make it more of a timed event. That takes nothing away from this accomplishment, though. He's a stud!
This Marine absolutely blazing fast. Recognize! The number in my (admittedly not pristine) memory banks from OCS (‘87 and ‘89) would be 0:44. Don’t recall the TBS record.
@@1seticat They make it safer now. You have to get through each obstacle based on how the instructors demonstrate. So candidates argue that the staff techniques slow us down. 58s is a good time.
@@matthewgilson8474 The only restriction that I heard about was that the flying squirrel was off limits. Other than that, you can get through it your way.
I was at OCS just two years ago and the official record was around 55 seconds. Idk what you're talking about, even the most fit candidates I saw couldn't do it much less than 60 seconds.
@@tan4373 26 seconds, Marine. No candidate has ever been more motivated, nor had more God given ability, than I. I received a 51 year old picture of me in that run from an OCS platoon mate today, 14Dec2018. If you'd like to see it, shoot me an email at buzzard767@aol.com and you'll say, "Oh yeah, I get it now......" Looking at the video above, that Marine is loafing in between obstacles and loses even more time struggling over a couple of them. My OCS DI, JB White, God rest his soul (was killed in Nam 14 months later), made a challenge the first week of OCS that he would buy a beer on graduation for any puke who could beat him in the O Course. The beer was delicious. That was the very challenge that fired me up and made OCS easy for me. I finished as #1 in the physical category. Back then, 60 seconds gave the maximum points as part of the physical evaluation, and you're correct, not many could do it. Due to enhanced OCS training at the time, my class was not at OCS mainside and we had our own O course which has since been replaced with a restaurant. I have an email from a classmate, a 22 year active duty fighter pilot, testifying that there was a plaque of some sort put up at the O course with my name and time. He said he saw it several times in the '70s but it is nowhere to be found since they tore the place up. I'd give ANYTHING for a picture of it.
@@buzzard767 No the standard varies. You can easily see in multiple different videos on UA-cam that the high log jump on different bases are much higher then at this one.
What happened to the 8-foot wall? Looks more like 5 1/2 feet. The high log should now be called the medium log. It's no longer the same course. Not to disparage his record, he did a great run, but you can't compare his time to "the old Corps". ('64-'67)
When he jumps up on the bar and swings forward to the parallel bars he lands almost half way down the length of the parallel bars. He doesn’t just swing up and hook his legs on the parallel bars right in front of him. We had a Lieutenant who was a gymnast in college and he would swing forward and fly almost all the way down toward the end of the parallel bars. At that point just stand up and run down the logs.

Much appreciated. Yes they do differ across the fleet, but unfortunately we don't have much of an option at quantico.
1:54 those consecutive jumps are crazy impressive

Wow!! I randomly got here, very impressive mate, from the 🇬🇧 👍
This video introduced me to a kick-ass song that I listen to for working out 🔥
His techniques would not fly in OCS today. They make us use techniques which slow us down.
Really? How so? I went through TBS in 1983. My best time was 58 seconds.

They don’t care about form at TBS

at OCS they made us use techniques, at TBS they didn't care
What a beast
this is awesome
He's going to make a great Adj...
The real record is 26 seconds, Quantico OCS, December 1967.
Very fast! Must have been quite the run! I can imagine the course has probably been redone since then though.
No. It's standard at all bases.

Good question. The wall is a lot smaller then back in 1974..
Where’s the technique in this
When he jumps up on the bar and swings forward to the parallel bars he lands almost half way down the length of the parallel bars. He doesn’t just swing up and hook his legs on the parallel bars right in front of him. We had a Lieutenant who was a gymnast in college and he would swing forward and fly almost all the way down toward the end of the parallel bars. At that point just stand up and run down the logs.
Damn that’s quick but he uses his height to break the rules. Against the BS he does I’d smoke him.
Lol okay boomer. Ur a pog
Shut up butter bars go prance around with your 3 ribbon rack
Matt from Wii Sports Wanna race the endurance course? I’ll even give you a head start
Those who can, do. Those who can't, talk shit in the comments. If you can smoke him, go do it and post a video. Otherwise stfu.
