How to become a Marine!

This blog post is a how to post about how to become a Marine. Becoming a Marine is no joke it takes a lot of hard work and commitment. If you not serious about it than don't even try. Okay well I will start this off by talking about how to enlist. Of course this is the first step is signing up and to do this you should and go speak to a marine recruiter. "Again I can't say how serious you got to be because marine recruiters take their job very seriously, they feel very responsible and want to fulfill their job they have been sent out to do." Most Marines take recruiting ask a great reward because they are helping insure a good future for the Corps. 
Step two if you get in you will have to go through twelve weeks of basic training. These twelve weeks are going to be very intense. They mostly will be the hardest things you have ever done in your life. To pass the physical fitness tests you have to be able to do two full pulls ups for guys. This means you  have your arms have to fully extend when you go down and when you go up your chin has to go above the bar. Now for women to pass the  pull up part of the test they have to hang with their arms fully extended for fifteenths seconds. These are the minimum amount you have to do so you should be able to do way better. 
The second part of the fitness that you should be able to do is you should be able to do crunches. The minimum amount of crunches for both men and women is 44 crunches in two minutes. 
The three and final thing you have to do is the timed run. Males have to run 1.5 miles in 13:30 minutes and for females they get 15 minutes to cross the finish line. 
Now all three of those is to prepare this is not all you will have to do. You will be doing way more that this. This is to prepare and so you can pass some of the test.

  4. Your formatting is not quite how it should be. You need to break down your paragraphs even more. Also, only use "marks" on copied information. You forgot to introduce your source when paraphrasing (as is required for this post).
    I like how you give the steps and wish you luck if you decide to enlist.
