Description
USMC TRAINER is the perfect tool for anyone currently in the Marine Corps, training to become a Marine, or just interested in over-all fitness. Created by a former Marine, this trainer is designed to help Marines better themselves physically and mentally as well as prep future Marines so they can excel at Basic Training.
It has four different training modes: PFT Calculator, IT Trainer, Run Timer and USMC General Knowledge Flashcards.
PFT CALCULATOR: Includes a crunch timer, run timer, flex arm hang timer (for women), and a pull-ups field. After you enter your info in the fields, the calculator does the rest in accordance to Marine Corps Order 6100.13. There is also a PFT Log that keeps track of past PFTs so you can monitor your progress.
CFT CALCULATOR: The new Combat Fitness Test is designed to better assess a Marine's ability to handle the physical stresses of combat. Includes timers for Movement to Contact, Ammo Can Lifts and Movement Under Fire, along with great instructions and diagrams for the course. Track your CFT improvements over time.
IT VIRTUAL TRAINER: The IT (Incentive Training) Virtual Trainer allows you to pick several different exercises, set a countdown timer and then a Virtual Drill Instructor “quarterdecks” you, yelling out the exercises to you in random intervals. It has detailed instructions, along with photos, on how to perform these exercises to USMC standards.
RUN TIMER & LOG: A separate Run Timer & Log allows you to work specifically on your run time, saving your past runs in a log so you can track your progress.
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE FLASHCARDS: Has over 150 questions taken straight from the Boot Camp PracAp final test and “Book of Knowledge” issued to all Recruits. It includes USMC history, rank and command structures, UCMJ Articles and all the basic knowledge everyone should know before going to Boot Camp.
SETTINGS allows you to input specific information (age, sex, etc.) so it can correctly calculate your PFT and CFT scores.
No Marine should be without the PFT Trainer, it is an invaluable tool that will help you obtain your goals and push yourself towards the next cutting score. Anyone wanting to join the USMC will get a small taste of what it’s like to be a Marine, while training to become a part of the few and the proud. Semper Fi!

Customer Reviews
Terrible App
This app isn't worth even half the price they're asking. After downloading, I was treated to an app that a recruit would think is easy. I'm in the military, and this app felt easy and worthless. The IT section is NOT a drill instructor yelling like I had thought, but instead is some bland voice telling you to do push ups and mountain climbers.
Overall? I want my money back!
Seems not to save and doesn't work in background
In the settings tab, when you save your age, it seems not to save. When I come back into the application and go to the same tab, it seems not to remeber what I had previously saved. That's minor.
The major annoyance is that the application does not run while other things are running, like music. If you switch to another application, this one closes. This seems to be not be taking advantage of the power of the iPod OS. The application should be able to continue running in the background, but doesn't.
OOHRAH!
Semper Fi Marines.
