I will be 39 next week, and am out of shape. I know that being out of shape can be fixed. The National Guard has offered a package I am seriously considering, but I want to do this smart. I'm not a kid out of high school, I am a mother of two teenagers (one is my Air Force Girl!). I enrolled at a local gym, and picked out a personal trainer. She enlisted in the Marines when she was 19 and served 6 years. I chose her in hopes that she can help me get physically fit enough to breeze (I know that is only a dream, but it is a nice one) through basic training on the physical fitness aspect. I would love to be able to make my daughter proud.
Do you have suggestions of other things I can do to prepare? I will not join until I know that I will not fail... those are my tax dollars at work too, and I don't want to waste them!
I joined this forum today, and have seen many helpful suggestions for the Marines. My husband served in the Marine Corps, and I have great respect for them, but I have heard from him that all other branches have... not as hard (yes, I cleaned up his version)... boot camps. (My laugh for the day was when my personal trainer told me he was a "Hollywood Marine"! I hadn't heard that one before. And, as she told me to expect, the first thing out of his mouth after I asked him was, "I climbed Mount Mother-F***er!" LOL)
Thank you in advance for all suggestions.
