Hello all,
I'm a poolee, leaving for boot in 4 days. I'm 6'1" 160lbs. I can clear the ist no problem, I can do over a hundred crunches, ~10:00 1.5 mile, and 12 pull ups (13 on a good day). Scored a 97 on the asvab. I know my general orders, Marines hymn, leadership traits, and leadership principles. I know a good amount of Marine Corps history. Lastly, I also know how to march. (jrotc) Idk what else to do to prepare, I work out at least 2 hours a day, 3 or 4 hours if I'm really uppity. My real question is, how bad of a time do you think I will have at boot camp? I would LOVE to be the guide or squad leader, I know I'm above the game as far as fitness and knowledge but all I ever read on here is how hard it will be for someone who's ill-prepared. I had a choice between college (UC Santa Barbara) and the marines, I consider myself pretty intelligent. Also the mental aspect as well. Thank you in advance for your responses. Oh wait sorry and my mos falls under 65xx.
