Basic Training Journal: Saturday, September 13th

Today was the last diagnostic PT test we have until the final PT test. We actually didn't run on the track this time...we ran down a road for a mile and turned back. I did the 2 mile run in 13:11...if I knock off 11 seconds on the final PT test I will max the run. I also did 44 pushups and 76 situps(2 from maxing). To tally it up, I got a 257 total points on the PT test. I can almost guarantee I'll max the 2 mile run and the situps on the final PT test. It's those pesky pushups I don't do too well on.

After the PT test we did area beautification until lunch, but first we were introduced to the new reserve drill sergeants and company commander. After lunch we got a pass from 1300 to 1630. The PX and rec center were packed and we spent an hour in lines so that spoiled our fun a little. We bought stuff at the PX, ate pizza and candy bars, and used the phones at the rec center..or tried to at least. Most of the people on the phones were calling everyone they knew and talked for hours so I didn't get to use the phones once again.
