Train for marathon running.  Get diploma

Answer 4

Stay in school & do good in school. You will need your high school diploma or a GED and 15 (100+ level) college credits to be eligible to enlist. You also need to be able to pass the ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) which is broken down into 10 sections of material. The ASVAB is what will qualify you for your MOS (Military Occupational Speciality, aka your job).

Physically - stay in shape. Run a lot, work on doing push ups, sit ups, crunches, and pull ups.

Mentally... You have to keep the drive to be a Marine and you have too keep it all through boot camp too.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Preparing for the US Marines should be broken down into two categories. Physical and Mental preparation. You need to be as physically fit as possible, to be able to run and have muscle endurance to do the pull up (chin ups) and sit ups required to pass the Marine Physical Fitness Test.

The other aspect is mental preparation. Remember the Marines value the Unit above any individual. Start understanding and accepting the "Team" concept. Develop a tough skin if you don't have one because you definitely will need it and above all have a positive attitude. Training will be tough but rewarding but I tell you, extremely sensitive people generally don't make it in the Marines. Remember, be tough both physically and mentally and take everything with a grain of salt but never ket go of the determination to succeed as a Marine and I promise you it'll be a piece of cake.

Answer 8

Do good in school and stay in decent shape. Once you get closer to joining age buckle down and start working out/ sports a lot. You're 13, have a little fun for awhile before you really start taking it seriously.

Answer 9

Stay in shape, run outside consistently and increase cardiovascular and muscular endurance.

Do good in school.  

Answer 10

Stay out of trouble. Work out alot. Maybe get into sports.

Answer 11

I would seriously recommend a lobotomy, because you would have to be completely crazy to throw your life away in defense of the worthless, morally corrupt people that populate America. If they won't go and die, why should you?
