SITREP - Blair

Post by Blair117 »

After walking out of MEPS in January without signing due to the fact that their weren't any option 40s around, I am pleased to say that my recruiter found me an 11x option 40 contract and I have Dep'ed into the Army. My ship date is 20110913. I have been hitting the PT hard and will post the results of a self administered PT test by Friday.

Congratulations young man! Holding out for what you wanted paid off. No it is up to you not to waste the slot. Get yourself prepared and make up your mind that you will do whatever it takes to reach your goal.

Couldn't get on Friday to post my pt results due to a family emergency, I was however able to do my APFT before.

Push ups - 70
Sit ups - 85
2 mile - 17:46

I definitely have some work to do to max out my pt score.
