I celebrate my birthday! I am turning 19 which I find extremely depressing.
I realized that it's my last year as a teenager.
Shit gets more and more serious at 20 and I am not looking forward to it.
Also, I need more insight on enlisting in the Army/Marines.
I highly doubt I meet the physical standards to make the Marines.
I weight 295 pounds, I am 6 foot 3 and I run a 6.0 on the 40 yard dash. :P (Slow)
Shit does not get more serious at 20. Hate to disappoint you~

Physical standards aren't that bad to get in. 1 1/2 mile in under 12 minutes, 3 pullups, and 50(could be wrong) situps in 2 minutes.
3 pullups = No Marines for me. I can't even do one. I've never been able to do one unfortunately. Time to train for pullups!Quote:

However just because I haven't been able to do one at this point, doesn't mean I'm going to sit down and quit. You just have to keep at it and pull through, If you are really looking to enlist in the Military then you have to be dedicated. Don't enlist if you are not 100% sure it's what you want to do.Quote:

I mean, physically I can handle a challenge of lifting shit, but I cannot lift myself too well. I am so close to at least one pull-up. I get about 75% of the way there. I need to figure out how to work the muscles for the power to will through it.Quote:
