If you push yourself, you can make your 1 mile run. It will hurt and you might puke, but eh, it's only a few mins out of your life. Better than sitting around in fat camp for a month.

You won't be in great shape by the time you leave basic if you aren't in great shape when you get there, but you will be able to pass your PT test at least with a 60% in each event. Is that good? Not really, but it's a great foundation to build on as long as you stay motivated.

You seem to have a good attitude now so you'll most likely do fine. Don't worry so much, just push yourself and go with the flow.

Is the Marines and Army the same training? I don't know if it is to hard because I don't have physical condition just a little bit.

What?

Uhh....it all depends on your aspect. The Marine Corps boot camp has not changed as drastically as the Army boot camp has over the past decade (as far as I know).

So in my opinion (which may be biased) I tend to believe the Marine Corps boot camp is harder mentally if not physically.

so that means you don't need a lot of physical condition?, and anothr question what abou if you are not citizen or resident of USA do they accept you?

You are a Citizen though, are you asking for a friend?

There is a list of Nations whos Citizens are allowed entry into the United States Military, and that list is kept by the United States Government.
The action of joining the United States Military as a Non US Citizen is usually used as a path to full US Citizenship.

I never said you do not need to be in shape, nor did I say one was harder than the other in the physical aspect. I said that it is harder mentally.

Reading comprehension 101.

You CANNOT join the US Military, any branch, without a green card. FULL STOP.
