My name is Dan Collins and I am a proud former Marine who would like to help others achieve the same things I did while serving. I was lucky enough to have a great recruiter who prepared me both physically and mentally for boot camp. I feel that preparation is the key to finding success in your career as a Marine. Preparation should not end with boot camp. Many other events during your enlistment require preparation including the PFT (physical fitness test).
This website is all about helping people prepare for Marine Corps boot camp, along with any other military branch’s boot camp. Although I focus primarily on Marine Corps fitness, it is really beneficial to anyone looking to achieve a higher fitness level.
If you’re not in shape, you’re not going to be a good Marine. Sure, if you just want to get by with the minimums and make it through your enlistment, then you can surely do that. There are plenty of those who do. I am interested in helping those who want to help themselves; those who want to be the best of the best.
If you are about to embark on a trip to Parris Island or San Diego, you need to be prepared! Don’t arrive at boot camp just barely able to do the minimum physical requirements. There is no need to. By following a strict training schedule, you can arrive in above average physical condition.
Ooh Rah!
If you have any questions about Marine Corps boot camp, fitness, nutrition, drill instructors, etc. send me an email. I will either answer you personally or in a featured question on my website.
i want to enlist as fast as possible, i am 24 years old and have 2 jobs so it was really hard to study for my GED . but i finally got it because i want to be a Marine.. took the test and passed. But when i went to see a recruiter he told me i need college credits.!!!! i will go to my first semester on august, and start preparing for bootcamp .. any advise????
anything will be very appreciated. thank you in advance.
I’m currently enrolled in a college, but after i Finnish a full semester i plan to join the marines. my 1st question is, like 4 months ago i go into a car wreck and broke my femur and had metal rod put in along with 3 screws, is it still possible for me to join? my recruiter said that i wold still be able to. the only exercise i struggle with is running but not because my leg, just because I’m not all that good at running, and my pull up i can do 10, but if you could just give me some tips would be much appreciated.
thank katie
how much money and how old do u have to be
I was born with club feet but had them operated on as a child. there is a slight pigeon toe but no limp. I can run and have no other physical defects. Will the Marines accept me into boot camp?
