Marine Corps

To become a marine you will have to pass the IST (Initial Strength Test). The IST is a shortened version of the USMC PFT. A recruit only has to do pull-ups, sit-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. To pass this test you will have to do

- 2 Pull Ups

- 35 Sit Ups (2 minutes)
- 1.5 Mile Run - 13:30
They will also have to sprint a timed 880 yards, lift a 30-pound ammunition can overhead from shoulder height repeatedly for two minutes, and perform a maneuver-under-fire event, which is a timed 300-yard shuttle run in which Marines are paired up by size and perform a series of combat-related tasks.
