what are set ups?
yes, its a good start my friend.
legs:
1 leg squats
speed jump squats
bulgarian split squats
lunges
chest/triceps:
all kinds of pushups(backpack, rings, 1 hand, T pushups, db pushups, varying hand placement, medicine ball pushups...ect)
handstand pushups(requires practice)
dips(very important)
back/biceps:
you have to find something to do chinups/pullups on. these are KEY bodyweight exercises.
inverted rows
for total body training/conditioning, burpees are pretty fun.
a routine could be:
workout a
one leg squats(partially if you cant do full ROM)
wide hand backpack pushups
inverted rows
some burpees
workout b
bulgarian split squats
dips or handstand pushups
chinups or pullups
some HIIT maybe
-workout on non consecutive days, 3 days a week.
-alternate the workouts every time you do them. dont do A or B twice in a row
-i would reccomend using a higher rep range since they are all only body weight exercises.
some examples: 4x8, 5x8, 3x10, 4x10, 5x10, 3x12, 4,12, 2x25
periodize any way you like.
-try to lift as fast as possible while keeping perfect form and using controlling movements.

To add to protein's post, you can do all those free of charge. For weights, who needs a gym? As silly as the following may sound, I'm pretty sure they'll add some fun to your workout as you'll feel really old fashion. Just get some dirt, fill it up in a bag, and now you got free weights. Want to do squats with weight? Just get a wooden stick, some ropes, and tie the bags around them.
Also, if you're joining the army, prepare to do a lot of running. I think the minimum requirement is to run 2 miles in under 20 minutes or something like that. I think you do the run in full gear (60-70 pounds of stuff) and boots. At least 50 push ups / situps in under 2 minutes, and at least 1 pull up, no time limit.
