Answer 1

High School Diploma!!

Pass boot camp, if your fat.. good luck, no major health problems, asthma is BAD to have

Answer 2

They do not test you on how much you can bench. Check out this website. http://lavadog23.webs.com/

Answer 3

You don't have to be in any certain condition....they  will do that for you in boot. Just be mentally prepared more than anything...

Answer 4

No, there's no physical test.  I'd work on stamina more than weights, 'cause you're gonna do a LOT of running.  Start running cross country.  Pull ups are good, too. Don't worry about bulking up:  Marines come in all sizes.  

Good luck, boot, and Semper Fi!  See you at Camp Pendleton

Answer 5

there is no benching requirements at all.

Your requirements are to score a 225 on a test of 300 points.

the least you need to be able to do:

3 pull ups

50 crunches

and run 3 miles in 28 minutes
