A test that we must pass in order to get to boot camp was to make a decent amount of push-ups or pull-ups. The push-ups I got to my max was 50 and for pull-ups I got to 16 doin the wide grip posture. There is a shirt that can be earned if you reach 20 pull-ups. I was given information about boot camp and how the experience is going to be. There is a schedule that is applied for the three months that every poolee has to go through. The crucible is a final test in boot camp where each recruit has to work together in order to complete. Boot camp is not meant for people to fail but some poolees do not meet the requirements. At the end of all that trading there is your graduation where family and friends see the poolees transform into Marines.
