I'm 17 years old and i'm planning on joining the marines. I'm 6 ft. tall and 130 lbs. I run track and i don't think the running part in the marines will be that bad for me but as far as strength i'm pretty worried. I read all kinds of things online that marine boot camp is the hardest thing that marines have done in their life and it worries me. I tell my brother who is in the army that i'm scared to death of marine boot camp and he says its dumb because its so easy and that its probably the same as army boot camp. I think he's just a little biased because he's in the army. My dad was a marine for 23 years and he said boot camp wasn't that hard and he never really goes any further than that. Maybe its because he doesn't even know that i'm going into the military. I don't even want to tell him yet. But i really want as much information as possible about marine boot camp because i'm really scared. I'm still going to do it, i'm just a little overwhelmed. Every documentary and video i've watched on it just doesn't cover enough for me. And is it true that there's some kind of "code" that marines don't tell too much about it to those who are going in? I just want some information and advice preferably from actual marines
