well the time has come for me to write in my journal again. I know it has been a very long time in between each of my prophecies but a man of my importance it is very hard ro find time.
For starters i am team chief now, and so here comes the late nights and headaches from everyone who wants me to do this or that. i am in charge of two soldiers which is a great honor and privilege in the U.S. Army. I feel that this is a great opportunity to get experience to become a sergeant. which brings me to my next topic. i took a PT Test this past week and to my dismay failed only one event. the test itself is three event two of the events test muscle strength and the last tests muscle endurance. All of the test are timed event which depending on how good you do a point value is giving to each event and then added to give you a overall score. The first event is the puch-ups, you have two minutes to do as many (and here is the kicker) correct push-ups as possible and depending on your age a certain score is provided. I did 75 push-ups which my age 26 equal the max of 100 points, great job. The next event is the sit-ups, again two minutes to do as many correct sit-ups as possible, and yet again I did the max 80 for my age bracket so 100 point great job again. The last event is the dreaded two mile run which i have only 16 minutes and 36 seconds which on the day i had a 17:50 which is not that bad but not that good since i failed. well it is nothing but working out in the mornings for me now. the worst part of all this is I scored 247 which is higher then some people scored and passed with. but this only means that i need to work a lot more on my run then anything else.
well i would like to say i hope all the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan make it home safe.
