A Wannabe Seeks Advice from Marines

[ImRman]

I aspire to become a Marine after I graduate from high school. I do happen to be a fatbody, 330lbs at 6'3'', I am looking to you Marines for some advice from maybe someone who went through a similar situation. I am going to graduate early at the semester break. I know that as a minimum I need to get down to 240lbs to even begin boot camp, and I had planned on going into the MOS field of 21xx (please correct me if I have any errors in my message) and thank-you to anyone who has a comment or some advice.

Determine what you really want, and what you are willing to sacrifice to get it, and then go get it. You have to sacrifice. You can't just sit there and type it, you need to do it. Your odds are not good: many people just talk about it. You need to make lifestyle changes and stick to them. You control your destiny. Good luck.

Wookie gave good advice.


This Marine did it all. Runs IronMan competions now.
