hahaha.. nothing wrong with the navy... but seriously we were in qatar and there were some navy officers walking off the ship with fishing poles... our CO (RIP) said they hook their enemy for shark bait.
hopefully ill be in parris island on march 30th. im would be 5th generation if i went navy but the marine corps is in the same branch. i just want to be the best i can be and i think the marine corp would do that for me.

They are not in the same branch, dont ever tell a Marine that. They are a division of the navy... I know its sorta the same thing, but its not... you'll understand.
I was in the Marine Corps from 1999-2003. Boot Camp is defintely 75% metal and 25% physical. Listen to Archer....DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING PERSONAL. You are getting the same treatment that all Marine recruits had since 1775, and they survived. There are times when it will suck, and there are times when it will be great. I was in Hotel Company, San Diego.
Never been to Parris Island, but watch out for the sand fleas. I was a Network Administrator (MOS - 4066) and stayed in California for about 3 years or so. I had tons of fun the the Corps, and wish that I never got out.
haha sand fleas. Yeah I heard about those. they say if you kill one, they make you give it a proper burial.. hahaha again more mental crap. but it would be funnier than hell to watch.
When I went to my older bros grad @ Paris Island, the sand fleas sucked. KUDOS to those who just stood there silently laughing at us civies swatting awating fruitlessly at their onlsaught.

I've applied to the army, air force, and marines. 3 Rejections.....and for what? I don't weigh enough! wtf?!? I've been working out and eating a ****load recently inorder to bulk up. I'm pretty sure i want to do Air force ROTC. Anyone do the ROTC program, either Army or Air Force?

I commissioned via AFROTC. Great program IMO :tup: The best officers that I have worked were all ROTC grads. OTS is a good program too, but its REALLY selective and tough to get accepted. Im not a huge fan of the Academy.
What school/detachment are you looking at?
What do you want to do?
its not about fighting. its about supporting the weight you'll endure. and being that thin (lightweight) they wont take the chance in training with you getting hurt. Eat more fatty foods, talk to a rec. and ask what the min. weight for your height is. if you were 8-10" shorter, you'd be fine.
believe it or not, the training alone will make you loose weight. with your weight, it would be dangerous for ya. see the way the training goes ... they brake you down and rebuild you. its like molding something you want, you have to start from scratch, rip it apart, and rebuild it. know what I mean? They wont tell you that because its (not what they do) but it is what they do. I dont want to hear anyone come up and say "its not true" because it is. You will be ran, pushed beyond your limits, they will break you, and stress you. This not only helps build you, but it weeds out the people who cant hack combat. and weighing that low, it would be dangerous for you to loose weight... so start eating off Mc D's dollar menu and gain some weight. work on push ups and crunches... find out your minimum weight limit and reapply.
and remember, your going to be carrying up to 120lbs in gear while in training. more doing your tour, and more during combat. see why they would reject ya? its not because of you its to protect you and the doctor's *** there at MEPS.
Ya that makes sense. It's just frustrating for me because I eat a TON of food everyday and i work out and exercise. I just can't gain weight worth ****. If i don't get my weight up this summer then ill lose my chance at ROTC. I should talk to the recruiter and see what he says.
stop working so hard and eat more carbs. your metabolism is running on all 8 cylinders. its good to have, but at the same time you need to slow it down..
dont worry about lifting weights or running so much, your burning more than you can pack. I know its weird to say it, but working out so much is hurting your chances of gaining weight. im not talking about pigging out, but eat less a day, later at night. you'll start to gain. here is an updated chart for weight to hieght ratios for the army. others normally follow in the army's footsteps with medical. i dont know about the air force, they are in their own world... though they used to be a apart of the army... http://usmilitary.about.com/od/army/l/blmaleweight.htm
and becoming an officer.. i believe shodown can tell ya.. your standards at EVERYTHING will be so much higher than an enlisted. the paper work sucks, but the perks are much better. chics dig the brass.
and dont be an *** officer either. I'll take your camaro away from you. lol luck man.. google some sites to see how you can slow your metabo and gain some muscle and fat weight but still keeping your body fat % at a medium to min.
