what can i do to prepare my self for the U.S Marines. i want to join. what i am really worry about is the physical training. i don't want to go and fail because i am not in good shape. { sit ups, push ups, pull ups, running, swimming} ( how many how long of each)
Answer
Minimum 3 pull ups, 50 crunches in 2 minutes and a 28 minute 3 mile run. That gets you the minimum in each category and a total score of 105. You need a minimum of 135 just to meet the bare minimum standards and never be much of a Marine. You should be looking for a score of at least 200.

Swimming is a different qualification. Current standards are basic, intermediate, and advanced. I haven't been able to find the new qualifications. Read these: http://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/2009/07/marine_swimquals_072009w/

If you want to be a Marine you will need to feel comfortable in the water. If you want to do anything other than being a basic Marine with no opportunity you should be able to feel very comfortable in the water. They are called Marines because they assault from the sea.
To give you an example of an average swimmer in the Marine Corps, these are the old qualifications for CWS3, an average swimmer.
The following qualification standards and test procedures are applicable to Marine Corps combat water survival training. All testing procedures for will be accomplished while wearing full combat gear unless otherwise stated. Full combat gear will consist of boots, utilities, helmet, flack jacket, H-harness, cartridge belt, two magazine pouches, two full canteens with covers, rubber rifle, and a standard 40-pound pack, with frame, which has been properly waterproofed. Gas mask, first-aid kit, magazines, sopor mats, and sleeping bags will not be used during testing or training.
Combat Water Survival, Third Class (CWS3)
To qualify Marines as CWS3 involves teaching and testing. Emphasis is on personal survival under combat situations and while on maneuvers. Teaching occurs throughout instruction/evaluation.
# Enter shallow water (minimum 1 m) with weapon and wearing full combat gear.
# Walk 20 meters in shallow water (minimum 1 m waist deep) with weapon at port arms and wearing full combat gear
# Walk 40 meters in chest deep water wearing full gear and weapon (weapon slung around neck) using a modified breaststroke arm movement and modified combat stroke leg movement (bicycle stroke).
# Travel for 40 meters in deep water (over the head) with full gear and weapon.
# Enter water from height of 5 feet using the modified abandon ship technique, into deep water with full gear and weapon (weapon inverted at sling arms), travel 10 meters, remove pack, and travel 15 meters with pack and weapon.
# Jump from minimum height of 8 feet (maximum of 15 feet) using the abandon ship technique wearing utilities and boots only and travel 25 meters using either a beginner swimming stroke (on front or back) or demonstrating a basic knowledge of any survival stroke or combination thereof. This info is available in the USMC PT Guide.
That should give you an idea what is required.
