Question
I have at least 8 years of armature boxing under my belt. my Q is how hard would it be to get into boxing for the military, and what would i have to do and who to talk to?
Are you in the military now? If not, you will need to enlist (preferably the Army, who has a year round boxing team) and tell your recruiter that you are a boxer. After going through boot camp and AIT, you should be able to try out for the All Army team.
