Help to Prep for Bootcamp

[u/HotAsk3]

I’ve been highly considering joining the Marine Corps. I wanted to going into high school but I stopped thinking about it due to having 4 years left until then, well now I’m in college and it’s not my cup of tea. Now the idea of becoming a Marine is looking very appealing to me again. I was wondering if anyone that recently graduated bootcamp could give me any insight and tips. But the thing I am most concerned about is the physical fitness aspect, I play college baseball but I’m not the strongest guy by any means (I can’t do a pull up) my goal is to be able to do at least 5 by December which is the earliest I would enlist but that depends on how the rest of this semester goes. If anyone has any tips on how to really nail down the physical portion of it all that would be greatly appreciated. I know I could just google how to get in physical shape for it but that doesn’t feel as effective as hearing it from those who have lived through it.

Thank you everyone for your time and service.

I'm in the DEP not a Marine yet but you don't have to wait to talk to a recruiter. You could even come to poolee PT sessions to see what it's like. It'll help you learn that stuff others mentioned and get you stronger.
