There were some ....heftier people who made it through Depot fine, but you'd better be in good shape before going, and not thinking that you'll get in shape while there. I remember seeing one guy that looked like he'd weigh at least 240lbs (and not of pure muscle) and was ~5'8". He SLAUGHTERED the PARE and was reasonably quick in the longer distance running. So, looks/weight can be deceiving.
Overall, the training was tough, but not super hard. I was expecting something more like what skidmark had gone through, but these days there is a lot of classroom and scenario-based training on the schedule. They do expect you to keep up a minimum level of fitness on your own time as well, outside of the "learning hours" of the day.
Some people were able to fit in all their assignments/homework/studying and working out and still get to bed by 10 or 11pm, and then there were others who were up until past midnight frequently trying to fit it all in. ...and then wake up at 5am or earlier for classes.
