Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But I didn’t qualify at this screening. I had some troubles in the pool. It really sucked, not to mention the water was a crisp 65 degrees. I have no other option now but to get back on the hoarse and try again. I really wanted to make it the first time, but only 4 out of the 30 that where there made it. But on a lighter note, tomorrow I have to go on the NCO (Non Commissioned Officer) of the Quarter Board. It would be nice to win that, but it’s not on the list of my top priorities.

Well folks, this is it. I have less then 24 hours till I take my recon screening. I don’t know how I feel. I’m excited, nervous, and stressed. I can’t really explain it. Just thinking about it makes my heart pound in my chest. Tomorrow is the day that I have been training for all these months. I just hope it was enough. Tomorrow morning at 0530 PST I will be in my cammies starting the swimming portion of the screening. Well enough talk, I have to get going. MOTIVATE KILL!

A few months ago I decided that I wanted to take the recon challenge. I finally got the chance. The screening to be accepted is as follows. 1st Class PFT. (3 mile run, Pullups, and crunches) Then to the pool for a 500 Meter swim, 30 minute water tred, 10 Meter rifle retrival, and a 25 Meter underwater swim. I think that although i can be even more fit then i already am, I will have a 95% chance of being able to complete the screening with no problems. The only obsticle i forsee is the 25 Meter underwater swim. My first screening is sceduled for the 6th of this month. If you think you have what it takes I will be posting my daily workouts to follow along with.
