Nice to hear that you're making your dreams. Go ahead.
Went for a 3 mile ruck today with 55lb in my pack. Completed it in 48 minutes.
-i heel strike to much and need to double up on socks, my heels got hot quick.
-my weight vest is not a viable alternative for a pack, weight distribution is not the same.
-i need to shuffle on all down hill or level areas take advantage of not going up lol.
Ill probably have to do a PFT assessment this week and ill up date after that.

I thought the Army standard was two miles?
It is. 2 min is also standard for the PFT. I thought I was going to be doing a full PFT but instead they called it a PFA and had us do half of everything just to get an idea of where we are and what we really need to work on.
Wait, that was your marks?
Yes. Didn't say I was proud of em but said id update. I had plenty of gas left for more pushups and sit ups. Only thing I need alot of work on is my 2 mile time. I talked to my recruiter and him, one of the other 18x recruits and I will probably be doing additional PT in April and May.
You have to improve your marks. How about being a member in SF Mentor group? Or Taking a look to the Fitness and Nutrition part of the forum?.
Go ahead, Atlas.

Welcome to ShadowSpear.
Welcome to ShadowSpear.
PT today was easy. It was only an hour and I had a lot left in me so after PT I went for a 7 mile ruck. Started close to a 15 min mile and toward the end was closer to 20min/mile. 55lbs in the pack.
It felt better than when I did the 4.5mile before. No hot spots, no blisters. I switched socks after mile 4 probably saved my ass. I was heel striking again but no as bad as I was consious of it now. Still trashed 2 pairs of socks.
I wanna try a 12 mile soon.

Dedication. Good to see.
Still, enjoy your freedom.

I've decided to DEP-loss from my 18X contract and Reno for 11X.
There are lots of reasons. The 2 biggest being my security clearance and my attitude.
I did things through my high school career that I shouldn't have. That among other things I was told to omit from my security interveiw. I did. Regardless of who told me to it was my choice, obviously knew it was wrong and went through it just the same. The Navy and Air Force had turned me away for my traffic violations, so when the Army took me and was going to give me a shot at what I truly wanted I wasn't going to let anything mess that up. Digging my hole deeper yet. I am going to reno my contract, be more truthful about things going in and start off not worrying about a security clearance. Hopefully one day ill be able to qualify for one but as of now I don't see it happening.
As far as my attitude. I fully understood the chances of me making it through weren't very high but I never really thought about it. Im going to walk into the Army and act as though I deserve a place among their most elite because? Because why? I couldn't answer that think until I can I need to choose a different path. Get my feet wet before I decide to go swimming.
Im young and my attitude towards things as seen on some of my posts here shows I have some maturing to do and if my main goal is to become a professional I should take time to build up to that instead of assuming I can be one just because I got invited to tryouts.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Coming from me (a civilian), at least you know where your faults lie and you're willing to man up to it. It's not the end of the world.
