you did a good thing! lol

your certainly old enough but i'd say you need a good two solid years of training & eating right beforehand, maybe after then though, you'd certainly reap more benefits.

better learn to do a lot of cardio...get on a tread mill and go for 1 hour every day..that will get your cardio vascuylar stuff in shape and then pumping some iron will do the rest...after you drop significant body fat...

i was in the TA for 4 years as a physical training officer, i was a 2nd lieutenant due for promotion to lieutenant, but left because of an eye injury i had through kickboxing...im now a civilian instructor that never bothers turning up, lol

the main thing you will have to worry about is cardio, & general fitness & endurance...not to mention a strong mentality towards things...PURE GRUNT arrogant attitude but with a boundary though

do things like press ups, over hang pull ups, shuttle runs, jogs, log runs(if u can), squats, deads...
best things to do will be general circuit training, boxercise, light weights, high reps, & work ALOT on cardio...
stick a rucksack on fill it with books & run till your legs give way & you wanna throw up...
if u want a training program let me know

yeah.. most people think that when we say 'train natural for a bit longer" that we really mean "we dont want you to take steroids and get a better physique than us" but really we want you to learn more about how your body works before altering it irreversably
