do i need to get into shape before I sign up?
I just got out of school a few months ago and I want to sign up as soon as I can because I want to go infantry and i am aware the spots fill quickly.
Im in pretty bad shape, I can do probably 6 pullups, 50 situps in the time, and I can't even run the 3 miles.
So my main question for you Marines is do I need to get into shape before I sign up or is it okay?
im also afraid I won't be able to keep up with the RS PT sessions right now, but I started running yesterday.

Yes if you want a better chance, as the Marine are very selective now.

sorry maybe I worded the question wrong.
I am trying to ask if its better to get into really good shape and then sign up or begin PT now but also sign up as soon as possible and then get into shape while I am waiting to be shipped.
in other words is it better to sign up after getting into good shape where I risk having to wait for an MOS and ship dates or better to sign up ASAP where i will have to work hard to get into shape before shipment and just be able to keep up with RS PT sessions to begin with.
