SITREP THREAD. Post your Progress Here.

I'm hoping this is the appropriate thread for my sitrep.

I'll be 50 this year. Every decade, I take stock of my life and try to enrich my experiences.

I've been absent from this forum for awhile. It's because I'm trying to focus on some things that are life changing. What you may ask?

Well, on Tues, May 27 '14 (29 yrs and 2 days after my initial enlistment), I just finished my physical exam and PRT for the Navy.

Yup, I'm just about done with my package for Direct Commission into the Navy Reserve.

My initial PRT: PU 63, SU 83, 1.5mile in 12 min and change. (that was after an all nighter, fasting, and multiple blood draws). Not an excuse. Definite room for improvement.

Well, hoping the stars align and the Board OK's it.

Not SOF standards, but I'm just getting (re)started.

It'd be good to wear the uniform again. Hope to spend time with my Recon/MARSOC (or other SOF) bro's, in another capacity.

Hope that motivates some of you.

Back to lurking.

Congrats to the folks who've passed their respective selection. It's an awesome feeling!

Now all you douchebags who read above should drop and give me 30! 35 for folks who haven't passed!

Nice move, amigo. Best of luck in your uniform service; it is a unique fraternity.
 
As my intro thread stated a long time ago. I still want to be SOT-A, however now I am one step closer to my goals. I am still a 35S and currently on Tower week of Airborne school in beautiful and humid Fort Benning. I have orders to 1st SF group in Washington where I was told I would be a SOT-A. Just need to keep my feet and knees together for 5 jumps, continue with my PT and enjoy the ride.

Happy 239th Birthday Army!

Maaaan, get ready for the barn and some quality time with 400 of your closest friends!

Almost there brother, keep at it. Seriously, though, feet and knees together. If my 5th jump had been my first.... I may have quit. To date, it's still the 2nd worst jump of my career.
 
Update:

I'm currently an RTO on a FO team with 4/4 out or Fort Carson. Kinda got hosed and didn't get to deploy with everyone even though I was here in plenty of time and even have orders. I'm currently training at military athlete in the evenings here in Colorado Springs and mixing body weight training with ruck and run improvement for pt. I was put in charge of pt for my team, so I'm fortunate enough to create the programming.

Next move is to start my paperwork for SFAS or RASP depending on the agreement my wife and I come to considering her career etc(family first, but refuse to settle and she's supportive). My 1 year mark is next February, since I'm on rear d, I have nothing but time to train. Excited to
See what the future holds.

Pt score 277(need to get my 2 mile into the 12's and get my situps up, maxed pushups).
12 mile ruck-2:42 as of Thursday.

Headed to air assault in August and JFO in October(if not sooner).

Whats JFO bro?

F.M.
 
Quick sitrep. Coming close to graduating Green Platoon. Been a long time since my last post. I have a good momentum going and I'm really excited to finally get to work over in the regiment. Excellent training and I've truly begun to embrace the esprit de' corps of being a NightStalker. No place in the Army I'd rather be right now. NSDQ!

Congrats!! What's your mos?
 
Just took my shipping-within-30-days-PT-test at the recruiting office.

Pushups: 79
Sit-ups: 63
2 mile run: 12:50

I suck at sit-ups, plain and simple. Really going to focus on that in these last 4 weeks.

Other than that, just getting excited to ship.
 
Shipping out Tomorrow to Benning to start the 18x pipeline. Wanted to thank you guys again for all the info you put on this website, it is very appreciated. I will update as much as I can.

Thanks again,

Robbie
