Wake up at 4 am and run 10 miles with something heavy on your back. Lots and lots of push ups. Work out with free weights as much as you can. It will help give you an edge in boot camp.

i think your crazy for wanting to join that. Do you know EVERYTHING going on in Iraq, Korea, Afghanistan, right now? There is sooo much. Also, people in US forces basically make minimum wage, they make like $20,000 a year, my boyfriend works at a Ford dealership making about a thousand more than that, and he isn't going to lose his precious life over it.
Honestly.. your only a sophmore you still have 2 more years and the rest of your life. Choose a different route.
I have a friend that is in the marines and she is leaving this summer, she tells me how much of a mistake it was and she isn't even gone yet. Choose a different route. You will be better off.

After college? You have plenty of time to get fit. Does your school have ROTC?
In the meantime, for starters, get a Will made by an attorney, beacuse as long as Bush has screwed us up, it will be years before things get fixed in Iraq and the US soldier death rate is not looking good.

Join the ROTC if your high school has one. When you enlist in the Marines they will provide you with the specific training you will need, and you will be eligible for money for tuition after you get out.

my brother signed up for the marines, but what he did was do alot of exercise. He would do about a million push ups and sit ups lunges, and he would run every single day. He use to go to the park and run 2 to 4 miles every day , he said it was tuff but he did it. when he went to the marines he told us about his phsysical experience he said it was nothing but hardcore stuff so you have to be prepared. do lots and lots of exercise to prepare your body. well good luck
