APFT (Physical Fitness Test) Complete

I took the PT test after work today.  At 5:15 I arrived at the recruiting station and almost immediately began my push-ups, waited 10 minutes then did the sit-ups.  After that we drove to the local soccer fields and I ran 2 miles.  My recruiter allowed me to wear my IPOD/headphones which was nice, and a luxury probably not offered very often.

My Initial APFT: I'm 27

72 Push-Ups (close to max)
79 Sit-Ups (close to max)
15:40 run (very weak)

My total score was 267, and since I passed all events, I'll be able to go to the next selection board in Atlanta.

Docs in a Row

I'm still working on getting all of my documents together.  I turned in a birth certificate to my recruiter yesterday, and found out he's going to ANCOC and passing my packet off to the station NCOIC/station commander in a few weeks.  We're hoping to have MEPS/Physical/Security Interview all completed before that so all we'll have left is the board.

U of Tenn Chattanooga has changed my status to Candidate for Graduation in August 2009, now I just need to sure up a plan with my boss so I can take a day class five days a week for eight weeks this summer.  The classes will be over before physical inventory (I'm in accounting), so I've got that going for my case.

Physical Fitness, I ran a bit more than four miles yesterday, and I've been engaging in some type of exercise on a daily basis.  My weight is at 217 as of this morning, and I'm allowed somewhere around 207, I'm sure I'll tape out, but who wants to wait around for the tape...  This weekend, I'll go to the local high school track and run an APFT for myself.
