[QUOTE="LongshotSVT, post: 8706661, member: 65361"] oh, and in regards to your weight... the Marine corps has different standards that are required for recruits. I'd say you'll likely meet that standard at your height and weight, might have to lose 10 lbs or so. Just know that when you go to boot camp, they're going to burn every last little bit off of you. Most heavier recruits will lose 30-40 lbs in just four months. When I went in I was 6' and 215lbs... I left boot camp three months later at 170lbs. Now I sit at about 180, but I'm the same body fat percentage as when I graduated boot. You'll stay in shape, just don't become a turd. In regards to being older, you'll be fine. There's always recruits in every platoon who are 25+, especially during the winter months when there aren't a bunch of high school kids shipping. You're going to get angry at times due to your age and experiences and being limited for no fault of your own, but you'll get past it and likely move up way faster than your peers due to your own personal responsibility and maturity. I went in at 22 and I wanted to be fixed.... I moved up very very fast, far ahead of my peers Don't let that discourage you. The smoking thing will be fixed at boot camp too, it's up to you to stay off the cigs once you've made it for three months though. I started right up again after boot and still smoke a pack a day, but I also smoke the majority of marines on the three mile PFT run. I personally believe that it has very little to do with it, just takes some personal strength and will power. It's no picnic. [/QUOTE]
