Pushups- 67
Situps- 80
Pullups- 20
My muscles were already fatigued, so that may have affected my scores.
Guess what, every time you take a PT test your muscles will probably be fatigued- so will your brain, feet and every other part of your body.

Andrew, in the meantime, please continue to work-out on a regular basis so that you will be prepared for IET. Never, never quit!

Self administered a PT Test.
2 mile - 14:09
Pushups - 64
Sit ups - 74
My goal is to achieve a max PT score before leaving to BCT. On a side note, I've been learning very much about life, and perseverance, and a multitude of concepts/lessons that will aid me in my Military service one day. I watch the Jocko Podcasts on YouTube. I apply the lessons I learn about life, leadership, and perseverance to my training and everywhere else I can. It makes me grateful to live in the greatest country on Earth, and I've been humbled very deeply. I'm waiting to hear some word about my odd situation that's preventing me from enlisting. But worst case scenario, I can leave January or February 2018. Which is around the corner. So for now I am training hard, and just learning as much as I can. Keeping an open mind, and very open ears.

Ranger Jim, will do. They are a part of my training. Do I include them in the self-administered APFTs?
