Ready to go

Well the countdown on the side of the page says 0 days left, and since I don't know when it's counting down till, I'll just say it's time to go now! Here's a quick update from my PT test yesterday, I had to do 13 pushups in 1 min, 17 situps in 1 min, and run a mile in 8:30. Easy, I know. Anyway, I did my 13 pushups in a grand total of... 11 seconds. So I got 42 pushups in 1 min, I did 20 situps and then stopped becauase I didn't want to kill myself over this. Then came the run, my weakest part. I felt like death, and it hurt a lot but I ran my best time yet coming in at right about 7:28. Overall, I was very happy with my results.

Now to what's happening from here on. At 4, I will go sit in a hotel until tomorrow, when I will go to the MEPS station (military entrance processing station) and swear in again and sign my contract again. Then I will sit around for a while until they decide i should get going. After that, I'll be on my way to reception and basic training. You'll have to wait until I come back (hopefully for Christmas) to get more updates.

One last thing, I won't have access to the internet at all or a phone very much at all, so the only way we can stay in contact is through writing letters. So write to me. Again, my home address is:

Keep the envelopes simple, no extra writing or drawings or anything. Otherwise I'll have to do extra pushups for them. Oh, and if you're thinking about doing that just to make me push... remember, I'm joining the army, and I will be a beast the next time you see me. I will also have learned some jiu jitsu. So go ahead, if you really want me to have to retaliate... lolzor, I hope to hear from you guys, and it won't be long before I'm updating my blog again as a soldier.
