I have also heard that you may even get your Ranger tag and but not serve as a Ranger because of the amount of Rangers. (too many I'd have to assume.) Or something very similar to that. I would check some military forums. I enlisted in the Marines May 1st, I leave Dec 7 for boot camp. I had actually met with an Army recruiter a few times. But all my friends had been Marines and even though the Army has some great bonus' I knew I would be upset with myself if I didn't join the Marines.
I'm not sure what you have in your area but I joined a Crossfit gym to get ready for boot camp. They are all about functional training. It's basically body weight stuff, metabolic conditioning, kettle bells, olympic lifting, running and rowing. With out running more than a 1 maybe 2 times a month I am able to run a 9:30 1.5 mile. Training crossfit I am also able do to 20 + pull-ups, and 80 sit-ups in two minutes. Another great program is the Monkey Bar Gym. They also have great work outs and have trained there as well. They both post free workouts on their sites. Crossfit programs in rest days though so be careful not to burn yourself out. And in almost all cases doing two a days is not better than 1 intense, focused workout.
