    You have four more years to join the United States Marine Corps just don't go overboard with it because you have a lot of time before joining, just stay fit. normal workout don't take it serious just stay in great physical shape!

  • I played football for 4 years, ran track for 2 years (60 meter and 100 meter sprint) and ran a partial cross country schedule all 4 years...I was one of the fittest recruits in my boot platoon. I was also blessed with some intelligence and took all honors classes along with some AP courses....push yourself academically.

    Source(s): a U.S. Marine vet who spent 11 months in Iraq in 2004-2005 (3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, attached to 31st MEU), mostly in anbar province. I am now a multi degreed engineer working for America's largest defense contractor.

    Take up sprint running, do most of the chores in your house, study math and science, a little schooling in judo and boxing always being polite to your siblings and parents. When you are 16 add weight lifting and cross-country running.
