Before it seemed like time was dragging and January 9th couldn't come soon enough. But suddenly its the 5th and I'm doing my pre-ship at the recruiters... where the hell did the hours drain to?

So first things first: I did a 70 second flex-arm hang, I did 70 sit-ups in two minutes (I could've done so much better if I hadn't done so many the day before... *disappointment*), and I ran 1 1/2 miles in 10:59. I passed each one, but I ( Read more... )

( Stolen From Many of You )

I did it. Signed my name on the line, gave my oath of enlistment... My ship date is January 9th. 24 days of civilian life, 24 days to torture myself physically in preparation for basic training ( Read more... )
