You'll definitely bulk up tremendously- they run you through the wringer before it's all said and done. I have a couple of friends in the Marines and they came out all pumped up. Good luck- I applaud you for what you'll be doing for our country.
My best friend joined the mariens and went to boot camp there. She worked out ALOT before she went and she still lost a lot of weight.
You will max out at 200 pounds or so.
I'd bet you'll lose weight. I went through Air Force Officer School, and no one gained weight that I know of. You'll get little sleep, and little junk food. A number of us even had anemia, which is common in a low-sleep/high-stress environment. The Marines are going to run you more than a couple of miles, and believe me humping a pack or physical training in boots is going to be a LOT more tiring than running in your civvy shoes. The main thing that makes it hard is the lack of sleep. You'll definitely come out a lot more cut-looking, some subcutaneous fat is going to be burned off and you'll look more defined. Good luck - see it through and you'll be a different man from what you are. You'll never forget your experience in boot camp.
