Ah... the PT Test....

There is no edification in performing badly

Published on July 15, 2004 By greywar In Misc

Had a fairly shitty morning today (smoked myself every 12 hours this week....then had a surprise PT test... you know even when it is not for the record doing poorly bums me out.... even when I have an excuse) but it was all better because KLFX played Pantera's Walk on the way home. BTW Walk was RVD's theme back in his ECW days.... He should have stuck with it.

P.S. I appreciate SGT New-age Hippie's attempts to cheer me up this morning... I was just being a sulky bitch... I really do appreciate the thought

i was in AFROTC for a year. i found the Air Force PT test frightenly easy. at least the minimum requirements. it was quite hard to get the max.

Up till this year the AF's PT test was just a bike test while having your heart rate and such measured. It was quite silly...

Now it's a combination of a of points gained during a 1.5 mile run, push-ups, sit-ups, and your waist measurement.

Air Force folks are now required to do PT three times a week, and all sorts of stuff. It's a lot more "military-like" now

funny.

You had done a lot of PT the day before, baby. Dont worry about it. I am sure you will do a lot better the next time with the proper rest. : )
I love you .

I have done a bit of figuring and for the 72 hours prior to the test I had done balls to the wall cardio every 12 hours.

Why so much cardio lately?

Why so much cardio lately?

partly to recover the run (i was broken fo 6 months of no running) and also to lose the flab.

Didn't you just come off of a profile for you knee problems?

Don't beat yourself up too much. Sounds like you've been pushing yourself pretty hard recently.

I don't want to hear any complaining from any branch of the service that gets weekends off in bootcamp. That's just sissy stuff. Quit playing your video games and get some damn exercise. Air Farce!!

Who here in the Air Force complained asswipe? I am in the Army and the Air force responders just said their test was easy! What the fuck is the matter with you? Help yourself to a trolling rating.

I know, but....I think that you;re giving yourself slightly more of a hard time than you need to. Just my opinion.

Sorry, but that make me giggle hysterically. Assisted by the valium I took earlier for my back pain.....but it was really funny.

glad you liked it. I just went and checked voodoo's blog and the guy seems awfully conflicted. I almost felt guilty for trolling him... for like a millisecond.

I didn't let it stop me either.

Grey, I didn't mind the trolling hit, I'm just so tired of the kids in the military complaining about a self-inflicted trial in their lives. PT is B.S., it always has been. I was a sailor for six years, ran P.T. with the Army grunts in Fort Eustis, Virginia just about every morning. Ran the Navy P.T. tests with a damn cigarette in my mouth. It's just a thing. If it bothers you that much, really, just burn your draft card and go to Canada. I think the Canadians might be a little tougher. Would you like to be a lumberjack?
