Rangers,

Day 3 complete, I've been enjoying the school thoroughly. PT test was a breeze, I pulled a 12:48, best 2 mile ever. They didn't start the test until the last person started. So far we've done the 34ft tower, and PLFs on the LDA.

Rangers,

Long time since my last post. I got to Airborne School on Wednesday, got assigned to A Co. PT test and the start of training is tomorrow, graduation is 5SEP. Going to miss the first week of college.

I'm feeling confident for the PT test and excited to start training.

Grab FM 21-20, the latest one has a pretty solid exercise plan in there. How is her weight? Personally I hit a brick wall on my run until I dropped some weight.

Negative Ranger Tater Nuts, The 19% figure I originally posted was valid in late September (intial APFT measured by Cadre) On 18 OCT I was probably around 18%. The 16% figure was from a midsemester APFT taken yesterday, measured by Cadre. My goal is to get off as much body fat as possible by Decembe...

Thanks for the information Rangers. Down at 16% now.

Rangers, For the fitness guys out there my question sums up to: If trying to maximize fat burn should you eat carbs for energy during workouts? The question tailored to my personal context goes as follows. I've finally gotten under 20% body fat. I contracted in JUN 07 at 25% and was given until JAN ...

Thanks everyone, went in and got my contract signed and enlisted.

For the past year I've been enrolled in ROTC in the "just trying it out category." I shaved a crap load of weight, got my APFT up and above standards, and got my grades somewhat in order. I'm going into my sophomore year and have been offered a 3 year full scholarship. I know the contract ...

Rangers IDon’tCare/Jim,

I rode on the words “never quitâ€

Thank you for the encouragement. Got my 200 last night, pulled a 1541 on the run.
