When you join the Delayed Entry Program, you train with the Recruiters in your area so that you are ready for boot camp, when the time comes. You are a poolee at this time....not yet a Recruit. This training is usually done on the weekends, when all the poolees get together and train together. This is called a poolee function. You will do some running, pull-ups, etc. All the things you will need to do once you hit boot camp. These are the things you will need to pass, in order to be placed in a platoon at boot camp. You can not go forward in boot, until you pass these things, so it's very important that you do! Hope this helps

The pool funtions we've done have been either really fun or incredibly difficult, we had DI's from San Diego come work us out last month then we had a bbq. And this month we're going rafting. It's really just a way to make sure you're in touch with other poolees who are waiting to go to boot camp...... It's nice the other poolees give you stuff to be terrified about you never thought of before.
