First off, I have no idea if the title is an actual military term, so just bear with me.
A few weeks ago, there was a DEP meeting and weights were taken. I
stepped on: I was a whopping 171lbs. It was the most disheartening
thing in the world for me at the time. A day or so later, my LPO called
me to let me know he was putting me on mandatory PT, which consists of
me waking up and catching the bus at 8 am to arrive at the office at 9am
and run around in the field outside for 45 minutes, everyday, four days
out of the week. Not going to lie, it’s pretty annoying.
Yet, two weeks have gone by, and I will admit that the running has
helped some. I’ve gone from 171lbs to 162-163lbs and have clocked
myself going 13 minutes running continuously. So, I’m actually not in a
complaining mood as I write this. Plus, everyone in the office sees me
everyday, so I don’t have to worry about calling in on Mondays, which I
almost always for get to do. So, yes, the waking up early in the
morning to ride with stinky people is a bit of an inconvenience, it will
show that I am trying and it is helping.
Hopefully, I can get under
160lbs by April, which is the deadline they’re giving me before they
officially toss me out. Surprisingly, I’m not really worried. Knowing I
did my best and I’m improving each day kind of feels like it’s enough
for me.
Once my week starts back up again, I’m gonna see if I meet any of my
fitness requirements or PRT (I believe it’s called). I’ll keep you all
posted.
