will i loose to much weight in marine boot camp, i am 5'5 115 pounds and i don't wanna come out of basic looking like a stick. because one of my friends that's currently a marine lost like 20pounds while in basic. so i am just curious if i should gain some weight before i go. t

i am just wondering any info would be appreciated especially from current marines or veterans.
thx :)
 
This varies from person to person. Skinny people tend to not lose weight and thicker people often lose alot of weight. And not all of us lose weight identically. So it will always vary on that person.

I graduated the exact same weight as when I went in. The difference was that I was more solid.

I am sure everyone loses weight, but you put it back with that food they feed you and you build some muscle.
 
Youll be all muscle when you come out if you go in like that.
A little weight gain would probably do you some good, but do not over do it.
