It would probably be better if you didnt have any prior shooting experience.
I didnt, and im an expert rifleman. You might have some bad habbits.
It doesnt matter if your in great shape. You will get it, trust me.
Perfect score on our Physical test is run 3 miles in 18 minutes. 20 pull ups. 100 sit ups in 2 minutes.
If you like to be challenged and like to work hard i would say join up. If you want an easy street, dont join. It is hard. But rewarding.
There are tons of jobs you can pick from. Goto the recruiters and check it out. Dont join if you dont get the exact job you want. The recruiters will make it work for you if they know you will only join for that job. Sign it into your contract. Do not go open contract.
Also check out the other services. But i promise you we dont offer a rose garden.
As my uncle told me before i joined.
"If you want to be treated the best, join the Airforce.
If you want to say your the best, join the Army.
If you truly want to be the undisputable best, join the Marine Corps"

That's great that you can do all that, but all because you won't be getting a scholarship, don't just join the military. We have enough people in there thinking things should just be handed to them and it's not all about what you can do physically, you have to take orders and be ready to be deployed at the drop of a dime - and when you say you're ready to shoot a riffle, does that mean you're ready to aim at another human being, come back from your mission and not talk about it? There's a whole lot more that goes into serving time with the military than you think. Go to the community college and at least get a degree & join as an officer, if you still want to, but don't go just because you think there are no other opportunities for you.

iam guessing you did not take to many english classes did you? yes the military is always a good option but with those score's you might want to look into special forces

It would seem to me if you were so "elite" you would have plenty of athletic scholarship opportunities. You also might want to practice your spelling a little more before attempting ANY test.

C'mon its funny! Anyway, if you have your heart set on the military, talk to the recruiters about OCS. With your creds you might be a shoe in.

Your stats look good but how do you feel about blowing another persons head off or watching your best buddy try to stuff his intestines back in the gaping hole in his stomach?
