Question

[Persol]

So i called the Marine recruiter about 2months ago, i told him im 285lbs, 70in and i would like to be a Marine. He strait up told me to get too 210lbs and then come talk too him well iv got about 20 pounds to go and i was wondering if i enlist is it possible that i ship soon or am i looking at an 8 month wait! I cant find a job and am not sure what im gonna do while i wait..

Oh and i have takin the ASVAB and have no criminal record or medical history..
