Currently i am 18 yrs. old and only weigh 132lbs. I work out and run a lot but can never seem to gain any weight. Will this cause me a problem in boot camp?

Not really they will just put you on double rats. This means instead of eating one meal you have to eat two every meal to gain weight. It may cause a problem towards the end they say you may not graduate. But, let me tell you they will let you graduate. They let me. As long as you can keep up with everyone else you’re fine.
as long as you meet height/weight requirements for the corps, it will cause you no problem
Meet the standard requirement. If you don’t meet the requirement, I’ve known people to eat bundles of bananas just hours before their physical in order to gain some needed pounds. You do what you gotta do…
probly not, plus weight may not even matter depending on your job, all you really need for bootcamp is muscle and brain.
im sure the marines will get the extra pounds off when you get there tell them you like running uphill full pack you will be in shape in no time
no it will not. when i went to marine boot, (MCRD Paris Island), i went in at 145lbs. when the D.I.s got done with me and i graduated, i wieghed 175. some gain, some lose. but goodluck buddy, i hope you make it.
