Just getting you ready for Hurby!! Congrats and keep us updated.
Stay out of trouble!! Seriously, seen one-to-many piss away their careers. Rest, enjoy some good food and square away your shit.
I'm doing exactly that my mom came down for the weekend so I'm just gonna hang out and rest up. There's a lot of kids,18x's namely, that are scheming on how to break the rules and get away with it...
It doesn't matter how good you are at PT, or how good you are at your job, if you go out and get in trouble ( and 9 times out 10 whatever you are doing you will get caught) it will all be for naught. There are plenty of fun things you can do that don't involve breaking the rules.
As a little anectdote... we got a weekend pass the weekend before we were to get our tan berets. 4 guys who were basically cleared for graduation, already had their battalion assignments and everything, went down to panama city beach for the weekend. On monday one of the cadre noticed the ink stamp you get at club la vela on one of their hands, called him out, made him give up who he went down with, and all four of them were dropped and went worldwide. A damn shame, but if you want to fuck around in a unit that takes things seriously, then just don't bother.

There was an officer that was 1 week from graduating SQT and earning his Trident. The class was done with all the training. The final week before graduation was just getting all the admin shit taken care of. So graduation was 99.9% assured. Unless of course, you decide to go celebrate in Tijuana, which is off limits to the military. Especially if that celebration ends with you being arrested by the Mexican police and having them call the NSWC to come get their guy. Idiot.

We had three guys who had one day left before they got their beret. They decided it would be a great idea to get liquored up in Fort Walton and pass out in the lemon lot over on Hurby. The base cops (which hate TACP's) found them and woke up the First Sgt. to bail them out (they were later kicked out of the AFASC and sent to scrub shitters)....All the instructors were called in at 1 a.m. in the morning which resulted in about an 4 hour smoke session for ALL the classes going through the pipeline. Don't be that guy.

Turned Blue this morning. Graduate tomorrow. My PT scores through OSUT where as follows: 288,290,277,294,292. I always max my run (10:45) and situps (88) but have struggled with pushups despite having done numerous extra workouts focused on the pushup. The 1SG during OSUT graded very stringently, throwing out 10-15+ reps every time due to form issues (Perhaps it's the former RI in him). Regardless, I need to improve this deficiency. I report to BAC tomorrow (unless the class is overfilled in which case I become a holdover). Following BAC, I am off to RASP or Pre-RASP, not sure which it will be. I would like to have my PT squared away and on the extended scale by then. So I am open to recommendations on how to improve pushups. Again, it seems to be my form that is the main issue. My 6'2" frame isnt conducive to the pushup.
I'd assume if he's maxing sit ups and the run he's in the 60s with those PT scores. If you do 4 sets of 2 minute push-ups with maybe a 2 min break in between sets, I'll bet money you'll be maxing in no time. That and bench press. You'll do fine in RASP if you're not a quitter, but if you can get that 300, you'll probably go to RS straight after RASP.
