Ranger Jim,
PT Update 3/1/2017

Push-Ups: 73
Sit-Ups: 78
2-Mile Run: 13:20
Pull-ups: 17

February Sitrep: I've been helping a buddy enlist and completing my future soldier training so I can promoted to Pv2. My recruiting battalion was supposed to do Opat for all future soldier on the 20th. It Didn't happen. I ran into a old buddy whose is allowing me to box for free at his gym until I ship. So I have been taking advantage of that. I'm staying healthy and keeping my ass out of trouble.

Excellent initiative. Entering as an E-2 will be very helpful every payday throughout your military service. Never, never quit!

Ranger Jim,
I have a type 2 tare in right hamstring and have been taking it easy for the past week. I will post a PT as soon as it heals.

Ranger Disinfertention,
Well... I was feeling hard-nosed while listening to Metallica/Rob Zombie while doing a deadlift pyramid workout sooo...
let's just say I'm lucky to be alive.

I basically extremely pulled/slightly tore my hamstring. I'm good. Im Healing up quickly and plan to get back after it soon.

I used the RICE method with Advil.

Rangers,
I will not be conducting an Afpt until I'm healthy.

Sitrep of March: I'm currently working at a grocery store in the deli department. Everybody that works there is a shit bag. I'm getting a sneak peek of basic. This week I got back to gym working around my injury and doing rehab. Nothing is new with me. My friend pussied out and didn't join up so no go on that promotion. I ready to rock n roll.

Don't take offense by the decision of others. Know your path and keep pressing smartly. Several good friends joined, most didn't. They are still good friends of mine either way. 8)
