No. Not many. My best friend was an Air Force recruiter for over 20 years. Physical fitness and being in good enough shape to even attend boot camp is the single biggest disqualifer for most potential recruits.
And no, they're not interested in setting up a workout plan for the average recruit to get them boot-camp-ready. Its a waste of time. If they had the wherewithal to do that, they'd already be in good enough shape - his words, not mine.
As it turns out, the person who recruited me did have a workout plan, but only if you scored 90+ on the ASVAB, because those scores are so rare, its easier to delay entry into the Navy and shave 10-20 lbs. off someone and get them able to run 1.5 miles, do 50 sit-ups, and 50 push-ups than it is to find another person with a 90+.
