6 months till I join I am joining the army reserve till I am 18 then I am going on active duty for 4 years I think I am ready for basic I can do 34 push ups 90 sit ups 26 chin ups I can run a mile in around 8 minutes I got a 79 on my asvab I cant wait to finally get away from my family and serve my country

34 push-ups isn't even passing the PT test.

And why not go straight to active duty? Unless you're talking about the DEP program.

i am will be 17 and you cant go on active duty till your 18 and i can do more push ups i am juststrating to work out i can bench 130 pounds if i could i would go to active duty

No, you're wrong.

With parents consent you can enlist. If it's before you graduate high school, you'll be in the Delayed Entry Program. (DEP) If you are still under 18 when you graduate, it's no big deal because your parents signed a paper saying you could.

Besides, you wouldn't be 17 much longer anyway.

He'll be fine with 34 pushups, he's already in alot better shape than alot of other people that go to basic. The drills will get him into the shape he needs to be in to graduate.

Right on, thats how I did it. Spent my 18th birthday in transit between BCT and AIT.

I enlisted when I was 17, but turned 18 two months before I left for basic training. I was one of the younger ones in my graduating class. Turn 18th in May and graduated in June.

I went all the way through basic at 17 and turned 18 just before graduating AIT. I made sure I had Germany in my contract so I could go somewhere where I could get beer.... 8)

i am still in high school i have 1 more year to go i can know do 47 push ups i just needed to get back in the swing of things
