from when i was in it was an 9.5 week course but that was nearly 8 years ago, from what i've been hearing from the new guys in my unit its up'd a bit, mainly due to the type of warfare we have, mostly urban combat. so i think now its at least a 10 to twelve week course, but trust me it isn't soo bad. as for working on push ups and all, trust me by the time your out of boot, you 'll be able to max em out, if you need a little boost of motivation or youre really worried do what i do. when im at home doing nothing but watching the tube, every comercial break i get down and do as many as i can during the break, and when the next break hits, i alt to sit ups. if you got any questions feel free to ask, hell alls i got is time.
fyi, im a mech in the army reserves and no i've not seen combat yet, and its making me anxy
