Re: The Workout Thread

Here is my PT test that my gym teacher administered today:

Sit-ups: 87
Push-ups:70
Slow cadence pull ups: 13 (hands out)
Didn't do 2-mile, too much damn snow.
But my last timed one mile is still around 5:27. Ill post a 2 miler as soon as some snow clears up.

Re: Introduction - Chandler

PerryB, Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't too uneasy since I clearly saw Option 40. Anyway, thank you! Roger Ranger Jim. I will report back after I swear in Wednesday. Attention to detail- check. To whom it may concern: When I glanced at the recruiter's computer, next to 11x I saw: 405 seats ava...

On Monday I'm scheduled to sign the papers with my recuiter and reserve a contract. If all goes smoothly I'll probably go to MEPS next week as well.

Re: Introduction - Chandler

Ranger Jim, Yes I have. I've actually already filled out all the paperwork necessary to go to MEPS, and have taken the ASVAB (scored an 88 AFQT). Right now my recruiter is just waiting until my Mom signs or I turn 18. He is fairly confident he can call in and get me a 11x Option 40, he just needs me...

Re: Introduction - Chandler

Ranger Jim,

Re: Introduction - Chandler

Yes it can! I love the cold though. It'll make PT tests a bit more challenging as the snow adds up, but I'd prefer not running on a treadmill.
