Currently maxing pushups and run. I'm at 70 sit ups in 2min so overall APFT of 287 right now. Feel good about my APFT improvement. Working on getting that 300.

I'm in my last week of AIT. Graduate the 20th then will be holdover for about a week I've heard then off to Airborne.

I graduate on the 20th of this month. Unfortunately my orders got pushed back and I will be a holover for a few extra weeks until my slot opens up. Like 75% of my class is Airborne so not all of us got slots for the next Airborne class. I'm going to look at the bright side of things though and use this time to further prepare myself for RASP.
