Ropes Course

As usual, I woke up and went to PT this morning about 0530. Today at PT our fight, the 47th, had to do the PFD, Physical Fitness Diagnostic. About 2 months ago is when I started to do push-ups. When I first did them I was toast at about 10 push ups, well, in the PFD today I did 36 which is a lot better than what I started at but still not that great, to max the test I need to do about 60. I'm almost there. The other things that we are tested on is sit-ups and 1.5 mile run and abdominal circumference. I did about 43 sit-ups and ran the 1.5 mile in 10:26(unofficially: I started my watch late so it might be more, but not much) and my waist was 35.5(huge!). That was pretty fun I hope I can do better in the future for the PFT (Physical Fitness Test) . Out of a Required 75 minimum points to pass I got about 81. That was PT. nuttin too fancy.

aerospace studies went pretty normal too. In the as100 class we did a Knowledge bowl, we split the class in half and had a competition about the history of air warfare.

At lead lab today the whole group got split up into 3 parts and some went to the Quarry to rock climb, some went to play laser tag and FTP went to the ropes course that's out by the lake. It was a lot of fun, we had to find a way to get a group of about 10 of us across this course of cables and trees. We couldn't touch the ground and had to help each other get across and to the end of the course, it was pretty cool, we had someone fall and he had to start over with a handicap, a ball in his hand. We eventually got across the whole thing and it was good times. The next activity that we did was up in the trees, we had to climb a pole that was hanging from a tree and then we had to go across this log that was in between two trees and that was the scary-ist part. That was about all we had time to do. Lead Lab was over.

What other stuff has happened? I got my name tape on my BDUs now I feel lots cooler cause I have a name on my jacket, I also got my name tag for my blues uniform. I also got a parking ticket over the weekend and had to report that to the NCOs.

Tonight we have Cadet Choir practice, and I have an Arnold Air Society meeting then I have to go to bed. While in the math class that I just got out of I could barely keep from falling asleep. Huah!
