Not quite what I was looking for. What I would target are those that are 20-50 pounds overweight, who have never exercised, and are generally borderline for health because of it. Smokers, drinkers, “otaku”-types who have spent years playing games on computers.

These are far more common among civilians. A pre-camp would go for a complete health rebuild. This is why they are all on individualized diets and six days a week exercise under supervision.

It could even have goal rewards for meeting and exceeding standards.

Once again, the higher this can raise the average for basic camp, the better their training there can be. And the cost to the military would be peanuts compared to about anything else.

Well yea, RSP is only for those who have already enlisted in the Guard, just waiting for their basic ship date. It's not really open to the general public, although Guard does allow random people to attend drill as a kind of try-it-before-you-buy-it type of thing.

The military hosting some kind of major exercise camp is very unlikely, as the logistics in that is decently complicated, and that's a large-ish expense on people who aren't in the military, and probably not likely to join it either. One thing I think the military does terribly is generic civilian engagement/interaction. Sure, people who live near a major military base might get to see the cool stuff during Fleet Week or occasional public events, but those are rare and not very in-depth. Hell, I think we should have some Guard guys bring a pair of Humvees out to high school football games or other major events, just for people to see/talk to. Not even recruiters, but just from a random unit.
