A recruiter? You have got to be kidding me! It's a trap kid...dont' do it. You are better off chatting with someone who's balls are not on line if the numbers are not met. Someone that has experienced the BS.

Run a mile and a half. Don't forget your push ups and sit ups. Thoset are the physical requirements. Just keep training to you go in. Keep on your diet. Eat three meals a day. Drink lots of water it will help flush your system out. Coast Guard is a great career. I'm enlisted so I can't give you any advice about coming in as an officer but good luck in doing it.

I would talk with a Recruiter. They can give you an idea about basic training and what skills you may need to improve on in the short term.

Slowly increase the distance you are running each day and like someone else said work on your swimming .
