I'm looking to join the US army this summer, and maybe do MP or some kind of mechanic, I got a 59 on my ASVAB so i should qualify for some good jobs. How hard is basic training, I've heard and seen that it's really hard physically. I do smoke about 5 cigs a day and I try to run 1 mile a day. I just want to know what all I should prep for. Do i need to run 1 mile a day or 5 miles. I could really use the help, I'm nervous about it. Thanks.
