I literally hung out with a lot of them almost every day. Most of them ate like shit, never worked out or exercised, etc. Oh and 4 of them were in sped classes which should tell you right away that they weren't the brightest bunch. On my mother's grave i am not making any of this up. Sure, some of the guys i knew that joined the marines DID workout a lot and were in good shape, but quite a bit of them weren't.
You can look up pictures of plenty of out of shape marines, and that's while they are deployed. Yet somehow it's hard to believe that BEFORE they joined the marines there is no way they could of been out of shape? Pleasssse.
You sound mad. I'm guessing you were a marine?
What in my one sentence response made you think I'm mad?
Yes I was a Marine. Some of the most physically fit individuals I've ever encountered were Marines.
It's possible that your friends entered in boot camp out of shape. If they didn't meet standards, then they would ha e been sent to a physical training platoon "pork chop platoon" where all they do is workout several times a day, and their food intake is monitored until they meet standards.
They're essentially in limbo as they can't progress through boot camp until they are fit enough.
Although I appreciate your experiences, they are extremely limited and don't represent what actually occurs in the Corps.
