I can run a solid 2 mile ~ 13:30-14:30. I can perform 60-71 push ups. However, I struggle on sit ups as I always have. I've been working diligently to improve but I'm terrified of failing them on the first PT test. Worst case scenario, if I fail the sit up portion of the APFT during CBT, will I...

Mentor1 - During my overnight visit, many of the Firsties and Cows randomly said to me in passing, "It's a trap." However, I find it to be mostly in good humor. As for my overnight visit, it was somewhat "non-routine." My escort was not informed until the day of. Also, as a result of odd...

Just a quick update but I have received a nomination from Senator Saxby Chambliss! I am very excited and I can't wait to find out if I will be accepted.

I fumbled on one question which led to me messing up the next and so on. Looking back, I know what I should've said, but I just didn't say it. I do however have a decent chance with the other Senator and I have a Service Connected Nomination.

When I wrote about the Senator's interview I was mainly throwing out the idea of receiving that nomination. Haha. No anti-government or dark secret here!

I would've taken AP Physics and Calculus (I even signed up for them) but I come from a very rural area and there weren't enough people for the classes.
