Just under 10 mins

which puts me at about 235

I thought it was a good overall test for soldiers and the physical fitness that they will need. I might add in a few more 100 meter sprints dispersed througout to work on the cardio.

No idea what my time/score was, but this was a good one...lookout, though...MAJ Bookout has some ideas to make this even more fun/painful next time.

Thanks to MAJ Bookout for putting this together. Hopefully it gave you some ideas for PT once you get out there as a PL. As you can see, an event like today has far more carry-over to combat than running 3 miles and doing PU/SU improvement every day...and your Soldiers will enjoy it because of that direct correlation.

Have a great weekend!
