While in High School, exercise as much as you can and go out for cross-country track. JROTC really isn't that big a step up to the pipeline for Marine Corps officers...it's a little wussy...... Get on track to officer-land while attending college by joining the college ROTC program. Continue your exercise and stamina training regimen while taking the necessary classes to set you up for Marine Corps Officer commissioning (check with Marine recruiting to find out what is required). I believe you will find that there is a small price tag attached to Uncle Sam paying for your education within ANY officer training program - it's called 'putting in the time' (X years of service for Y amount of schooling).
