Alrighty so I have till May before I have to decide to join the military or not. I graduate college in May and I want to have my decision to join or not made by then.
So in the mean time I want to try and get into shape. That way in basic it will be more mental than physical. What service I'm still not sure. It could be army, navy, air force or even marines.
I know swimming would be good but that's not really an option. I might be able to go swimming every other week. I'm trying to run at least a mile as many days a week as possible right now. Plus, I'm doing about 200 sit ups and push ups a day. I do some in the afternoon and some at night.
I know the point of basic is to get the recruit into shape but I would like to be somewhat prepared.
EDIT: I've also started reading what ever books I can find on joining. I bought The Complete Idiots Guide to Careers in the Military and I've checked out some books from my university's library. I also plan on studying some more for the ASVAB incase I have to take it again.
