Thinking of joining....

[RapidFire]

Hey, I'm new here and I'm posting to ask for someone experienced to give me some advice/opinion on my situation. So here it is;

I'm 18 years old and I'm just finishing high school. I've been training for about 3 - 4 months now, running and working out; I looked at the minimum fitness expectations and I can do well above all of that, can do about 38 pushups and I can JOG about 6k.... but I'm small boned and have very low body fat wich makes me look a little insubstantial... anyway.... I'm thinking of going infantry and I'm curious of what skills are needed and what else I should prepare for before enlisting..?

I know they put you through mental and physical tests, and I knda enjoy that stuff, so I'm looking forward to that and. I'm not quite sure how everything works so I'm going to go read up on the recruiting website.... I don't really know what else to say, if anyone has some advice I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

Well, same here except I'm 17 and i do 22 push ups and barely run 2k (working on it) but made it through the... the... things you need to do in order to be accepted for your basic,maybe in April at saint jean. Anyway, I also enjoy the mental and physical tests, but i personally think that will power is what you need. If you want to be a grunt and feel that you have the guts to do it, do it.
