I actually went in on a "Weight Waiver" because I was underweight by about 8 pounds.

In less than 7 weeks the USMC put 17 pounds on me, all solid muscle.

I was on double rations, and just a bit of 'extra' conditioning. I did pushups till I was sure I was going to die....

But having been there, I'm sure you know how that is.

Semper Fi!

I ran into a couple folk like you, skinny as a rail, had one guy put on 25 pounds of muscle. PT wasn’t all punishment, it was just one more challenge to meet.

The midrats is what got me.. and the food in the barracks dispensers.. 1st MAW .. 1st fed .. 8-]
