I might tend to disagree a small amount with the run issue. Having two sons that were as fast or faster, as you stated with the 2 mile run, I would say go for it. My older son did his first APFT and beat the battalion record, beating the MS4 that had held the old record the previous 4 years, the battalion competed in the Bloomsday run in Spokane the Spring of his first year. There was a friendly competition between the two of them, the MS4 saying his goal was to beat my son at the race, in the end my son beat him by 100yds. My older son held the record for the next couple years....that was until my younger son started school.
The younger one beat my older son on the first APFT. The mantra became.."Beat the XXX Boys" it was all in good fun.
Because of his run time both my older and younger son were picked for the A level ranger Challenge team their freshman year. They were both given the task of helping the slower runners train to better their times.
ROTC is a competition from day one, don't hold back, run as fast as you can. The cadre starts ranking you from day one, Don't worry about showing off when it comes to the APFT. My younger son had the highest APFT score in the battalion on the first day he took the test as a MS1, he was never treated badly by any of the other cadets, although a lot of them did increase their time at the gym after that test. Trust me, nobody else will be holding back.
With a 2 mile time like yours you have a very good chance to be the fastest in the battalion so one piece of advice. When you cross the line first, turn around and give support to those that come in behind you, be a team player, and above all be humble.
Now, work on your PU's and SU's try to max them on the first APFT, get a 300 on the first test and you'll get noticed, and that won't be a bad thing.
