» Navy test

We'll I did my IFA (initial fitness assessment) for the Navy yesterday. The requirements were:

Run 1 1/2 miles in 13:30
37 push ups in 2:00
42 sit ups in 2:00

MY results were:

run 11:55
40 push ups in 32 seconds
45 sit ups in 55 seconds

I'm now ready to ship out for boot camp Sunday. Seems like my life is finally going to improve, my wife is excited about being able to buy a house by the end of the year. Everyone wish me luck

	Not bad on the push ups and sit ups.. but 12 minutes for 1.5 miles? C'mon man, you use to play football.

	Good Luck Chris! And I am glad your life is now on course. I hope the Navy is all you hoped it would be.

Thanks Chris, means alot to me, I'm very excited

And yes Ryan, I used to play football, but I was also slow, I was a lineman...in my hs days i ran a 5.6 40 yard....so cutting weight to 196 and getting 12 mins for 1.5 miles is pretty good, ill be in even better shape soon. I'll take that test 3 times in bootcamp, I only have to pass once, and they say half of bootcamp fails it the first time so I say I'm far ahead of everyone else.

	Yea th pushups and situps are pretty good but the running, meh. But if you were a lineman then you have an excuse. Good luck sailor!
