LOL, first thing I thought of was Full metal jacket… Yea I had an oversize person go through but had a heck of a time and the drill Sgt would not get off the kids back…so they normally have a tougher time than anyone else…is this you?

I went to a weekend introductory course at one point – wasn’t the marines though of course.

Lets just say that being out of shape puts you at a severe disadvantage.

He was a fat slob, and he made it through and he was lean and mean when he came out. It must have been difficult for him though.

I went through Army Bootcamp, and the same thing happened there too. Fat slobs slim down and tone up and have to get a whole new set of BDUs when the graduate from BCT.
