Push-ups (2:00)- 80

No pull-ups? Never, never quit!

My recruiter administered PT scores from this morning (130917)

Sit-ups (2:00)- 56
Push-ups (2:00)- 90
2 mile run- 18:00

I showed up with a cold and slight fever for the APFT this morning and had trouble breathing while running the 2 mile. Threw up once after two laps around the track and then was dry heaving for the rest of the run. I'll be taking another recruiter administered APFT next Monday at 9 AM.

Let this be a lesson for the future. If you are scheduled for an important PT test and you are sick; don't hesitate to go on sick call. I have seen more than a few troopers in Airborne or RASP screw-up by taking a PT test when they're sick. Never, never quit!

Roger Ranger Jim, I'll take that lesson to heart.

A task for you: memorize the Ranger Creed and start living your life by it. Never, never quit!

Here's a quick update. I had my physical at MEPS yesterday and had a PULHES of 111111. My recruiter reserved an 11x option 40 contract and I am going to MEPS next Tuesday to sign the contract.

Excellent! Never, never quit!
