I didn't think it was that bad :-/ other than the 3 mile walk daily.

Congratulations! It will be a great experience for you in the USMC. I wish you the best

Obviously adjust your diet and add a bit more creatine and protein, you'll feel the benefits.

Try running the 3 miles, it's really not that far.

I was in the british marines, that workout is going to fatigue you to shit and you will just injure yourself. As a general rule don't train the same muscle groups on consecutive days, try and alter like so:

Day 1: Bodyweight circuit including stretching
Day 2: Long steady run (atleast 6 miles, at a steady pace)
Day 3: Either Rest or a core circuit
Day 4: HIIT (sprint training, either hill sprints or fartlek training)
Day 5: Bodyweight circuit or a resistance workout with weights
Weekend: Off or light cardio (walking, slow run)

This.

There's a reason why people who bench press every single day don't seem to get any stronger. Don't workout the same muscle group two days in a row, you need at LEAST 24 hours of rest in between, for your muscles to heal/rebuild.

I can't remember the exact science behind it, so take my broscience with a grain of salt. But I would NOT follow that workout. You want a good workout, try bodybuilding.com forums.
