Ryan Nguyen You will have opportunities to trade in the boots/ uniforms for a better size if they don’t fit you initially. Don’t be afraid to speak up and take those opportunities! It will save you money in the future and some discomfort during training.

I weight around 200 and I’m 5’7. How much u think I’m gonna loose and gain muscles after I’m done with basic? How much does an average person weight after basic?
Kofi A. I went to basic around 145 and came out at around 160. Some of the bigger guys lost a lot of weight and fast. I’d say you’ll probably lose at least 20-30 lbs.
