1.9 KM in 13 minutes. 2.4 in 16:53.

I'm getting closer.

Confession time though. Been neglecting my swimming in favor of running and sit ups and push ups.

Trying to find balance between the two.

Good work Pugz. Keep it up!

2.4 in 16 minutes? When i was in the pass was 12 minutes....ours was 10 minutes. Keep at it mate.

Dropped 4 kilos down to 89. I'm a stocky person with abit of a belly so this comes as a pleasant surprise. Goal weight is around 80 kilos by recruitment.

My left knee is starting to worry me though.

Sometimes, when I try to bend my knees, I here a click.

clicking and grating is quite normal for knees

Got a call telling me assesment is near. All papers cleared.

I'm fairly confident about the 6.5 beep test.

Push up and sit up are no biggie.

6.5 beep test should be easy for you. I wasn't very fit when I last did it in highschool and I beat that.

Dude i'm a heavy smoker and overweight and i cant get that in the beep test.

You will piss it in.

Keep it up mate

I have never ever done a beep test and I have no idea why

First done it in PE class year 10.

Ah, PE. Where my female teacher looked like a man and could probably bench press the biggest guy in my class.

 

[Hallatia]

PE was fun (I never did a beep test in it though) but SLR was better, no theory, we just played sports. We did have to sit an exam and the only thing I remember being in the test was cricket fielding positions.

 

[Pugzley]

Just got the call. Friday 20th of July is D-Day for assessment.

Medical assessment and interview.

Two more weeks to get trim and impress the military.

 

[Twizzle]

good luck

 

[Pugzley]

good luck

Thank you.

Parents are nervous about me joining the military and have shown me the 7:30 report article on Navy hazing/bullying.

Also nervous about that aspect but apperantly the ADF have cracked down on it according to previous reports through the years. 8-[

 

[Hallatia]

we're all behind you Pugzley

 

[9701]

Is it to early for a retired AJ to call pugz a pusser?

 

[Pugzley]

I have to be recruited first but we'll know after assesment and there will be the Pre-enlistment fitness test after that.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Your first preference should be HMAS Success. Heard it's a great ship.

How many tours of Vietnam did you do?:sarcasm:

They are changing the BFA again soon, its going to involve more functional tests according to what corp you are in. There has been a big study into it.

Once he is in i guess he's a pusser.
