My project for my senior year is a sample of the Marine Corps Initial Strength Test. The project explains the process of the marine corps initial strength test and demonstrates each step of the IST. The topic was chosen due to the lack of knowledge of the Delayed Entry Program and my interest in the marine corps. This research matters to anyone interested in joining the armed forces because this test must be passed in order to attend basic training. In Conclusion, This project explains the initial strength test of the marine corps and is important to future soldiers to know what to expect and be ready for the challenge.
