I'm aware of the PT requirement and working on right now, so far i'm 287 lb and falling, diet, walking, and running, and I start football the 6th of august hopefully I'f I stay on this path I would make it
I understand that I would be swabbing decks for probably 2 years but I'm am prepared to invest my time and effort, if I'm lucky I might make an officer rank in a short while

I understand your pain Ive been 200+ since I was 13 its genetics Ive always had a heavy muscular build. guys our size (if your solid navy requires 22% or less body fat) always have trouble with the run. Getting through boot will be the challenge, once in the fleet you can swim vice run, and now they have the stationary bike, I think you have to maintain a heart rate for a certain amount of time. its relatively new, but you have options besides running once you get to the fleet.
Seaman to admiral program is a good thing. Officers do less work and make more money, with better retirement options. But they do a hell of a lot more training. If you want to know anything just ask.
