We had our first physical training assessment this morning. I was pleased with my performance.
1 minute of pushups==29
1 minute of situps==39 (I started out too slowly--could have done more)
1 mile in approx 6:47 (not sure on that, I thought someone noted the time for me--they didn't)
Only gonna get better. My goal is to pass the PT end of June assessment. If I pass that I will not have to do nightly PT (but will have to go in the morning).
I have realized something about my heart in my first week here. I'm gonna hold it for tomorrow or Sunday cause it might get wordy and I'm tired. More training in marching in the AM.
I heard some high-brass chaplains preach/talk this morning. The emphasis was loving and serving the soldiers--thats what being a chaplain is all about. I was inspired and motivated to get out there and serve them.

Awesome!!! Way to go on that mile time and on the rest... but the mile in particular. With the training you'll be doing you could be down to like a 6 minute mile if you wanted to. I'm impressed! So glad you got some inspiration and motivation to do what you are there to do. It's hard enough to go through trauma of leaving your home and family and transitioning to your new world. You need to get to the good stuff!! Anyway, you should feel really good about yourself. Sounds like a good day to me!
