December IST

Almost there.

Saturday was our recruiting station's monthly IST.
The days leading up to it I was feeling a little behind in my PT. For the entire week of Thanksgiving I'd been out of town to visit family, meaning a lack of strenuous PT for about seven days.
So by the time the following Monday came around I was starting to feel worried.
Went to PT for the three days, then rested on Thursday and Friday.

Friday I took the opportunity to spend time with my mom and a couple of friends. In the evening we headed into downtown and watched the local Christmas Parade.

Saturday brought the IST. But unlike our normal monthly IST this one was a Command IST. Meaning that a few of the Command Staff members would be there to oversee the IST and interview each employee.
That day we had a Captain and a Sergeant Major.

In the end I did pass my IST, but I was a little disappointed in myself.
Instead of showing progress, there was a lack of.

FAH: 29secs
Crunches: 81
Run: 14mins 24secs


Now I just have one more IST to pass and I'll be sent to Parris Island on Monday.
