Some of us may advice others who are about to enlist in a few months time to train themselves up so that they will not have a hard time coping with training in BMT. Back then, I trained every night hoping that I was ready what tough training BMT would throw at me. I was very wrong. What I could say is that the training we go through in BMT is on a whole new level, and no amount of "training by ourselves" could ever prepare us for it (unless you are super fit that is).

Therefore, answering to that question, I would say both "YES" and "NO". It all depends on your personal opinions and stand. Also, do keep in mind that your civilian clock is ticking away.

Reasons to train before enlistment:
  • So that one would not have a hard time coping with training in BMT
  • Commanders will notice him and there is a higher chance for him to enter command school if one is fit upon enlistment
  • Absolutely nothing to do (highly unlikely)
Reasons not to train before enlistment:
  • Precious civilian time being wasted
  • So much more important things to do before shaving off hair
  • One will have lots of training once enlisted
  • Enjoy being a civilian while you still can
