Kudos for working so hard on your PFT scores and your requirements. The only paperwork remaining are the Participation forms to be signed by a parent, and a Doctor's Exam.
It is strongly suggested that each finalist work out with the Marine Corps poolees on Tuesday (or Thursday) afternoons to strengthen yourselves for camp in July. Please let us know if you would like to take advantage of this excellent PT training.
Congratulations on your hard work. Begin thinking about packing for camp and any necessary purchases. If you purchase the suggested footwear, make sure you wear them in early to eliminate sore feet at Camp Pendleton.
In the near future, you will be receiving driving directions to Camp Pendleton for the family and friends attending graduation on July 30.
Devil Pups is a non-profit organization designed to help teens 14-17 from all backgrounds gain self-confidence and learn to take responsibility for their actions. People wonder “Why the name Devil Pups?” The term “Devil Dogs” was used by German soldiers to describe Marines fighting in World War I. The Marines who organized this youth citizenship program chose the term “Devil Pups” to describe the quality of teen who can complete this program.
