failing IST can i still join?
over the course of a year I've been a DEP and I've sunk in months of physical training from basic circles of death to marsoc short cards and all my life I've been the generic do nothing gamer until i finally graduated school and went on a full turn around. despite having total garbage upper body strength for pull ups I've been passable by push ups and my crunches are solid but i fear im going to fail my entry IST based on my run time. despite all my efforts on running day to day i can't get my speed up but i can endure longer distances i have no idea based on various sources of information what the outcome of failing are if my career opportunity is completely shot. from reading around the web i found that the possibility of trying again is mentioned due to being signed on a active duty contract and not reserves that i might be able to try and enlist again but i won't be able to pick a mos and im fine with that having gotten motor T without choice but that information was years old and i don't know what the standards are now for failure. my sergeant told me it's over if i fail and i won't be able to get into the core what's the answer to this situation im in?
