I've been wanting to be a Marine for the past couple years now (I'm not one of the "Marines are tough, me want be Marine" kinda guys by the way) I just wanted some people to evaluate and pass along some feedback or advice. I've wanted to fly helos like my grandad since a couple years back (and for the record the GS in my username stands for grandson, that just wouldn't fit. I dont want to appear as a wannabe saying that I am) and have actually started to work on that now (physically). So, I started training for the PFT about 3 weeks ago because basically the biggest thing standing between me and a pilot slot is OCS. I just completed my sophomore year in high school. My original (or control) test was:
4.5 pullups
70 crunches
6:34 mile (I know it should be a 3 mile but I'm working on that)
3 weeks later (now):
9 pullups
74 crunches
6:13 (again, I know)
I'm 6' 0" and 146lbs. I've still got time to work (3-5 yrs). I'm not worried about the intellectual part, just the physical part (obviously since my score really sucks). I am willing to work myself extremely hard to become a Marine so i just wanted some input/suggestions. And I just wanna see who would think "Kid, you are screwed." or "You have a lot of work to do, but it is possible."
