Only one full day of drill this weekend. I was (mostly) on Sunday so I could attend the farewell ceremony for the Medical Detachment later this month. The first event of the weekend was the PT Test--what could be better than that? I scored a 316 because I was over the maximum on both pushups and situps. My official score is 300, but it is great to score "Superscale." If I use my raw scores and apply them to the 27-31 year age group (the highest standards are for this group, both 17-21 and 22-26 are slightly easier) I would have scored 259.
When I was in my teens and 20s my first time around in the Army, I smoked. I think my highest score was around 265. I never got 270 and usually scored just over 200. Always passed but not by much.
I know eventually getting old will catch up with me and I will walk slowly and yell at Liberals on CNN, but for now I am feeling good!
