Congratulations on making a wise choice! As long as you are not terrible over or underweight, you will make it. For your height. Actually, my son just graduated boot camp from the Army just yesterday in Fort Knox, Kentucky. You need to do some physical training before you go. But, like my two sons who are now in, they have PT, (physical training) before you even go in that is usually required to take. Your there for the weekend. One weekend out of the month. Well, my Army boy was there for the weekend and my Marine boy went every Tuesday I believe it was for the day. And they have to test you on like how many sit ups you can do in so much time and such so you have to pass that test to even get in. And there is a writing test you have to take. Things you've learned in school. You have to pass that too to get in. The higher your score is the better job you can get in the military. Which can add up to alot of money. They do a background check on you also and check your credit if your old enough. Um....that's all I remember at the moment. If you have any questions, feel free to write. Good luck!
