Answer 1

Pretty in shape. If you join, you'll drop weight like crazy so how much you weigh is not an issue.

For the marines you need to be able to do 15-20 pull ups, 3 miles in 20 minutes, 100 sit ups in 2 minutes and practice your push ups cause you do those a lot.

Just stay in shape through your senior year and after graduation. If you can manage that, you should be just fine.

Answer 2

Just be in somewhat good shape..You need not be in top shape to pass boot camp..They will get you into shape.
