Hello, I am 15 and I have been wanting to become a marine since I was 8. I am hoping I will be a grunt but that isn’t totally up to me. I am getting low on time to prepare. I was wondering if you guys had good ways to prepare. Mentally and physically. I am trying to graduate early and join at 17.
Mind Body & Spirit.........and remember it won't always be like boot camp :) :)
keep your nose clean, stay out of trouble, don't even be close to being in dutch with the cops, push-ups, stomach crunches, pull-ups, stretching exercises, and running, get your 3 mile run time to as low as you can, and when you think it's good, try to make it even lower.
good luck
Gkmoz Thank you sir! Do you have any information on how to prepare for boot camp?
Irpat54 Thank you sir! I really appreciate it!

Gkmoz Thank you so much sir!
Youtube is your friend. There are tons of videos on how to prepare for USMC bootcamp.
Just run run run and do sprints. I focused on calisthenics so mostly just body weight exercises like pull ups squats etc. hike with some weight too for a few miles a week. Don’t overtrain
If you’re looking to go infantry practice hiking, I’m here at ITB for 2 months and we take everything with us. Just get used to pain and embrace the suck.
