Introduction

[Chiron]

Welcome good intro and good luck.

Now work on that run time because your slow. 16:03 will not cut it. Yopur target should be 12:03!

Hello Rangers, I have an update. First, my PT scores are as follows:

Sit ups: 62
Push ups: 58
2min Mi: 16:03

I took a lot of advice from the PT section to help in training. My workout schedule from here on out is as follows:

Mon, Thurs: Sprint Training (440, 880 yds), Situp/Pushup/Scissor kick training
Tues, Fri: Long distance run (20mins)
Wed, Sat: 2 Min mile, Swimming
Sun: 12 mi ruck or 5 mile run, Sit up/Push up/Scissor kick training

Let me know if you feel I should change this in any way.

My decision to join has been met with open hostility. I told my friend I was joining and he spent the following hour screaming at me saying "You're not joining the military, You're not joining the military, you're not joining the military!" After this tirade went on and I did not react he slapped me in the face three times. I didn't move or respond. He asked me about a minute later if I was still going in and I said, "Nothing you can do to me will change my mind." He then left in a fit. Needless to say I was surprised at that. All the time during this I kept reciting my new favorite motto, "Never Quit!"

OK, Dave, so now you have an idea of where you are headed. You need to run a lot more. Don't worry about rucking at this stage. You will have plenty of time for that later. For now run, run, and then run some more. Please let me address the value of the opinion of others -- it is irrelevant. You have to determine what is important to you and then you have to achieve that goal. Never, never quit!
