I've been hitting the gym training and getting ready for boot camp in July. Ive done my own at home PT test (running a 2-mile in 16min, push ups at 45 in 2-min, and sit-ups at 60 in 2-mins) My weight just wont drop but im well prepared.

If you've been hitting the gym, training, and getting ready, then what will happen is if you are overweight, you'll be taped. If you pass the tape, as I suspect you will, then aside from some harassment from your drill sergeants, nothing.

PFC James Richardson - So you're DEP? Your second visit will usually not include any of the medical checks. It is strictly to get you there, and get you to do a final swear-in and sign your permanent contract (it is an all day thing).

SGT Javier Silva yes I'm in DEP. So I will not be weighed again on my second visit?

PFC James Richardson - Normally, no. However, this doesn't mean that you stop doing anything toward dropping that weight, and getting physically fit.
