Actually I bet I could...
I was looking at the requirements to get in... You have to run like a 6 minutes mile. Do like 50 push-ups, 100 crunches... Not too terribly hard.
Everyone can pass the requirements im not talking about the requirements im talking about the stress they put on you, and the PT you do every single morning evening afternoon
most people that try to join the marines quit during MCRD (boot camp) because they cant handle it.
thats why its called "The FEW" they only get about 16000 marines every year. army gets way more. army is for the weak who arent strong enough for marines and arent smart enough for the air force
Who cares about the Test.. you take a test i think its like what? every 4 weeks? if you fail you go to PCP Physical Conditioning Platoon. and they train you until you can pass it
BTW. your information on the test is wrong.
Minimum Fitness Requirments for Each PFT Event - Males
Age Pull-ups Crunches 3 Mile Run
17-26 3 50 28:00
27-39 3 45 29:00
40-45 3 45 30:00
46+ 3 40 33:00
You have to score points.
Marine Corps PFTs are scored the following way for males: five points for every pull-up, one point for every crunch, and one point is deducted from 100 for every 10 seconds slower than 18 minutes. For females, about 1.5 points is given per second and one point is deducted from a hundred for every 10 seconds slower than 21 minutes on the 3-mile run. Crunches are scored the same way as males. A male or female Marine must score a total of 135 points between the three events to pass the

wow.. are you being serious?
Heres a lesson little kid.
Marines = Toughest Military boot camp in this country
it Requires More Mentally strength then army, navy, and airforce
you wouldnt last 2 days in the corps kid.
Who cares if it's the toughest? None of them are tough. 'Mental Strength' is a crock of shit. You're smart, and dedicated to something, or you aren't. You aren't going to have a psychological breakdown from doing some boot camp drills and running a few miles.
None of them are tough? ahahahahahahah youre so cute. go say that to a actual marine watch how fast you get the shit knocked out of you
running a few miles and drills? thats all you think it is?? again. ahahahahhhaahhahahahahh youre too funny :] go actually watch a VIDEO of MCRD on youtube
