More than 230 cadets began the Competitive MIAD tryouts Oct. 25 and the head count dwindled throughout the daylong assessment conducted by the Department of Military Instruction. The physical assessment included a modified Army Physical Fitness Test (pushups, situps, pullups and 2-mile run), a 6.75-mile ruck march, the Indoor Obstacle Course Test and swim test. This was followed by a military assessment which included a kit assessment and military knowledge test. Scores were compiled and the top 192 cadets proceeded to the third phase, a Leadership and Character Assessment consisting of four leaderless command tasks similar to what cadets encounter at the Leader Reaction Course at Camp Buckner. One task required a squad to move into a formation—blindfolded—alphabetically by home states. Others, like the V-Plank and River Crossing were timed obstacles requiring teamwork and problem-solving. Cadets who hoped to enter the Combat Divers Qualification Course or the Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) school had a different third phase to complete that was more oriented toward the skills required to pass those courses. In all, there are 77 slots available for cadets to attend 10 different U.S. and foreign military schools. Photo by Mike Strasser/USMA PAO
I'm Appa from Avatar. My son tells me "Yip yip!", and that's my cue to go up. Then he tells me down, then yip yip again. He's a good drill sergeant.
The team mascot, this poor guy dressed up like a Gopher, had to do push ups on a plank held up by cheerleaders in the same number of points. I think in the end we had 63 points, so he actually did 63 push-ups. I don't feel too badly for him, though, because I bet there were at least 3 of them.
ORLANDO, Fla. – The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Best Warrior Competition began in earnest today as 12 Soldiers from the 143d ESC and the 321st Military Intelligence Battalion demonstrated their physical power and mental might to complete a gauntlet of Soldier skills.
Dawn had yet to illuminate the lakes and trees blanketing Camp Blanding, Fla., when the Soldiers endured an Physical Fitness Test directed by Army Reserve drill sergeants from A Company, 2nd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment (Initial Entry Training) out of Jacksonville, Fla. After completing pushups, sit-ups and a two-mile run, the competitors had less than hour to eat, clean, change uniforms, don rucksacks and step into a van bound for Camp Blanding’s live fire ranges.
The 143d ESC cadre and A-2/485 drill sergeants managed the ranges that tested the each competitor’s competency with the M4 Carbine, M9 Pistol and M203 Grenade Launcher—all while wearing a gas mask. The Soldiers were then ferried deep into Camp Blanding’s dense forest. The troops applied their land navigation skills to physically locate three distant points on a map using only a compass and protractor.
As the hot, dry day relinquished control to a cold, moonless night, the competitors returned to the field with weapons in hands and night vision goggles over their eyes. Muzzle flashes pierced the darkness as the competitors attempted to eliminate their artificially illuminated targets.
The exhausted yet enthusiastic dozen returned then to their barracks to clean weapons, write an essay and prepare for another grueling day that begins with a 10-mile road march.

Ok, so I've been on weight watchers for a week now. I had been getting out a getting some exercise trying to get my body ready for some training. Since today is Monday, I decided to see how I was doing and took a fitness test. Pushups, situps, and then a two mile run. The standard Army test. Here is how I did:
Pushups: 22
Situps: 38
Two Mile Run: 20.06
Now I'll log that on my project365 set comment thing and every monday just try to beat my previous weeks score.
I have horrible upper body strength and one of my goals is to work on that this year. I am starting a pushup workout program and am working towards 100 pushup by the end of this year. Let's see how far I get :)

I run every day, but at least 4 days a week I do a little bit of yoga and/or a push up sit up combo.
Today, was really cold and rainy so I did not feel like taking my socks off to do yoga.
I am obsessed with running, but the stretching and strength training of yoga, etc. has made me feel better all around.
