Results are at least 70% diet. Train as hard as you like, you won't get stuff all if you don't eat right.0

If this is in reference to basic military training, I have some inputs. I went through about 5 years ago, but I doubt much has changed. As far as exercise goes, they will make sure you get plenty of it. You'll do pushups, and then more pushups, and when you think your done, they'll ask you to push some more. Lots of core/ab exercises too. You'll run quite a bit too.
I lost nearly 30 lbs when I went through BMT, but gained it all back within 6 months after. My body was literally running on fumes, and once you get out I didn't pay any attention to diet. Don't lose your mind like I did. Sure, an occasional ice cream cone is ok, but not when it's paired with Burger King 4 or 5 days of week.
I'll think of more, but feel free to add me as a friend if you have any other questions, or if this was even about joining the military.0 -
I gained ~5-10 lbs between basic training and AIT (6 month period). Started mid to upper 160's. Ended lower to mid 170's. I ate as much as I was allowed. I didn't hold anything back at the dining facility. Cardio, cardio, cardio. You're going to be constantly sore for the first few weeks. When they tell you to count your pushups, don't bother. Every one is zero. They'll give you a manual to read. Read it, unless you like doing pushups until you puke.0

What time frame are you looking at for enlisting? It has been over 20 years since I was in the US Army, but I recall that I was very much unprepared for basic training. My job prior to enlisting didn't involve very much physical activity, and it showed. I ended up with shin splints and a small stress fracture, which set me back a ways.
Prepare beforehand as best you can.0 -
I want to enlist so I can become a Pharmacist in the military, The branches that offer training in pharmacy are Navy, Air force that I remember. I don't think I really get how this works.... I should probably meet with a recruiter0
