Hello,
CareerVillage itself can help with questions you may have about different careers such as going into the military and the experience of being in the military. It can also help you find pathways to being successful in different careers such as skills in networking, learning, and getting more experience. You can ask many questions here, but try to be specific about the topic. Do you want to learn about the military? Do you want to learn about wealth management? These can be two separate questions with different answers.
If you're looking to go into the military, it depends on your age. If you are in high school, you can contact a recruiter who will be able to assist you with the process and what you need to do to get fit. Many recruiters have fitness plans in place once you've decided to join the military. If you're not in high school, get involved in sports and clubs that involve physical fitness. Ask family or friends who were in the military what they did to get fit and ask them about their time in the military.

I joined the Military at 17, I did not meet the physical requirements to join right away. For the entire Summer, I ran every day, only taking a rest day here and there but most importantly I made sure I was hydrated and used common sense if my body hurt beyond a normal workout. You don't need supplements and other things to lose weight, its all calories in/calories out. If you can meet the requirements to get in, by the time you are done with Basic you will be way stronger and faster than before by the time you are done.
Focus your run, pushups and situps, drop carbonated drinks and drink water, hydration is key.
Use your time in service to think about 4-5 years out. If College is the answer reflect on where you want to go and what you want to study. Business and Military often seems the combination. In terms of being "Wealthy" chase your dreams but live within your means. Having minimal debt opens the door up to options down the road. Always have 6 months worth of monthly bills put away for rainy day circumstances. It will be absolutely hard to get to that point first, took me time but once you have it, you will walk around differently. Wish you the best of luck and success!
