All you need to do for the PFT is run, pullups, and situps. I would wait until maybe 6-12 months beforehand to focus on those. For now, get overall fitness in order. Run run run. More running. Run with weights. Run in boots. Run long distances (5+ miles). Sprint short distances (5 reps of half mile sprints). Lifting weights won't help you a whole lot, but get some core strength and leg strength because you'll be walking around with a lot of weight.

About a year or less away from boot camp, I'd say start working towards the PFT and CFT. Look up the standards. Work towards meeting and EXCEEDING those standards. Run run run. Stop lifting weights and focus on bodyweight stuff. Pushups, Pullups, crunches, burpees, planks are all essential military style workouts. Buy some standard weighted ammo cans and practice for the CFT. Run some more. You'll be fine.

You're my hero and if I get past boot camp, I'll brasie you

You'll get past it. It sucks but you'll make it. They won't let you quit. There are fatasses who are barely able to do 5 pushups who show up to boot camp and make it. Their lives are living hell as they fail PFT after PFT, but eventually they make it after months of half portion meals in the "Pork chop platoon"

Thanks, this takes a lot of stress out of it.

Marnie.
I lol'd

You're a fucking retard for enlisting, OP. Go to fucking college. Of course you won't do that though. You'll remember this post 2 years from now when you're cold and miserable in 29 palms doing firewatch while all your friends back home are lifting and getting laid.

I'm from 29palms. I can guarantee he won't be "cold". Miserable? Abso-fucking-lutely, but not cold.

Passing the bare minimum is a fucking joke

Being strong enough to actually live in your pack without wanting to kill yourself is not

Go look up what the average marine has to wear daily, then go stand in 40 degree weather wearing that shit
