I'm a pretty small guy though, I need some meat on my bones. I'm about 130lbs and 5'7" or so.

Once i'm out of college in 2 1/2 years then I'll probably go into some sort of army training. Thats why I ask the question. Long time till then, but If I can start off now and maintain that till then, I think I should be in pretty good shape. I'll have lots of time to get my strenght up.

Thanks again.

Does your college have an ROTC program? Mine did, and five months before I went in I enrolled in a few of their courses. This got me prepared for the military real quick like. Not just in physically, but also mentally, you learn the ropes without the screaming and yelling. So when you actually hit boot camp, it's already second nature and you can enjoy watching the other suckers suffer.
