Need clarification about boot camp.
So awhile ago I asked a question about if my wrist that was broken last February would hinder me from enlisting in the marines, I was able to find out that it wouldn't officially, but. Their is this one thing that even a year from when I last broke my wrist I struggle with and that's something I seen and hear that is something done a lot in Marine Corp boot camp.
Push ups.
Now I've talked to a U.S Marine, but check it he literally just graduated from boot camp literally a week ago I asked him the same question I'm asking you guys, will me struggling with doing push ups get me kicked out?
He simply said, no. If you're cleared by a doctor and it's in a system or known or something like that your Instructors will work with you as long as you show them you're willing to put in the work and won't quit.
But he became an official Marine a week ago or something like that and I know they're are guys here who have been in the Marines way before I was born so I'd like to know from you more experienced guys if I still got a shot.
BTW: I broke my wrist last February and was told to give it a rest on push ups obviously to let it heal which is why I'm struggling now, so I've just recently been trying to get back into the grind and preparations. But say I'm not able to do push ups for extended amounts of time like I've seen in a lot of Marine Corp Boot Camp videos on YouTube will that disqualify me? The most I can get to is 6. I'm working my ass off every day to get better.
Last thing, I was told is that the Marines don't want quitters and I've literally had everyone in my family try to talk me out of enlisting, my girlfriend literally just left me a few hours ago as I'm typing this LMAO because she thinks I'll get ****ed up in the head or I might die and the government will come after her (she's a psycho I know), that's how stuck and hell bent I am on becoming one, but at the same time I don't wanna waste my time and know what I'm up against, I'm sorry it's a lot but all comments are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance for serving.
