APFT 3 Sept. 22

So this morning we had APFT 3. My scores improved drastically but still need work. 27 push ups which is the same as last time, 60 sit ups which is 10 more, and an 18:24 2 mile, down another 2 minutes. All our remaining PT tests will be graded on the 60% scale instead of 50% now though, so I have even more work to do yet. I need 42 push ups, 53 sit ups, and 15:54 2 mile to pass on the new scale. DS V said as long as we keep improving he'll keep us until the end when we'll be recycled if we don't make it. Looks like I'm staying here for the foreseeable future.

Today, we just hung around at the range while 1st and 2nd platoons were at the range doing some kind of live fire exercise. We'll be doing the same tomorrow, with a night fire exercise using night vision and IR lasers mounted on our rifles as well. The night fire for 1st and 2nd was cancelled due to the thunderstorms rolling in.

This evening, I did some PT during free time, went and ran a mile on the track with some of the guys. Was actually kind of hard, legs were cramping bad due to the 2 mile this morning so I've got some muscle rub on them now.

Nothing else to really write about now except yes, night vision is just as fun to play with as you think it would be, which is probably why they don't let us hang on to them.

Will try and write tomorrow or Wednesday.
