Marine Questions and Answers

Could someone please give a general run down of what to expect during the first week of reception and if worst comes to worst what to expect if your sent to the Physical Conditioing Platoon? I’m having some trouble with my run time, I’m only off by 30 seconds on the entire run. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
