I guess Mark didn’t get to it lol

@ Joseph – Ah you’ll make it once you get to your first duty station They’ll get you right back in shape. btw, if you want to impress your next unit print out a board study guide and learn it! People get lazy once they’ve been in for a while, so those Soldiers who apply themselves and learn things without being told to go places fast… like E5 in under 2 years

Good luck and stay safe!

Hey, As far as staying in shape i;m in a similar hole. I just completed Basic Training and have returned home to complete high school before shipping out to AIT. Lemmie tell you, staying in shape without people screaming at me is kinda tough. I think its more staying motivated than anything.

Good job getting back in shape.

Josh;

I plan to try this over the weekend. It will be ugly, but at least I can measure my journey to 300. So, I’ll post my score here. We can race to 300.

Regards,
Mark

Hey Josh,

I haven’t actually done the Army PT test … but our AF one is starting to catch up a little bit. lol, at least it’s not that joke of a bike anymore. We run a mile and half, do push-ups and sit-ups for 60 seconds, and have our waist measured. Running is worth the most, waist is second, push ups and sit ups are 10 each … it all ends up being a 100 point scale.

May one of these days, just for the fun of it, I’ll do the Army test just to see what I’d score.

I do work at an Army airfield afterall.

Catch up with you again soon,
Todd
