Kimberly Danette Olarte, a Marine Corps poolee in the Marine Corps Delayed Entry Program, pushes herself while doing sit-ups during the initial strength test with Recruiting Sub-Station Cary, North Carolina, March 7, 2017. For the last eight months she’s been training with her recruiters in the DEP, which physically and mentally prepares applicants for the challenges they’ll face at training. For this IST Olarte did one pull-up, 99 crunches and a 10-minute-and-24-second mile run for a score of 269 out of 300.
