Day 61

Day 56 of BCT

Today was another chill day. Except our platoon kept messing up. For me the day started early for the PT test. We had to be outside at 0430. We waited about 20 minutes before hooking up with F Compny to retest with their failures as we'll. My DS was there to count and I ended up in his line. I was less nervous than last time, but I also knew this was my last chance. I hoped that if st least attempted 11 half decent pushups, he would count them. He didm't count out loud, but I gave him 11 attempts, so I prayed he counted all of them. I asked him how many I did when I did situps, and he just said not to worry about it. I pushed hard in situps and I think I got over 70. The run was the hardest. My legs were so tired from all the extra running this week. I just kept thinking about my little brother and how much he wanted me to accomplish this. I came in at 18:46, so not too bad. The DS still didn't say how I did, but I was hopeful. We went back to the company and stretched, then went and changed for chow when the rest of the company got done with PT. My male DS was still trying to not tell me if I passed, so I took it as good news. And then my female DS said I passed! I was so relieved! I'm going to graduate!

After chow, we went to the PX. I got baby wipes for Victory Forge. Four days without a shower! We then spent the rest of the morning trying to finish fixing our gear. Our DS was not happy it was taking so long and said we wouldn't get our personal time tonight.

Lunch was a Hot-A, and then we ended up in the classroom for s quick brief on donating to a soldier's fund and those who had ordered t-shirts from one company got their stuff. We also ordered pizza for the pizza party scheduled for after Victory Forge. Instead of personal time we scrubbed floors. It ended up working out because HF was short and the females were counted into the bay first, so I had time to shower and throw my ACU's in the laundry. All my other ACU's are packed, so I needed to wash these. And to top it off, I didn't have FG! Too bad we lose an hour of sleep tonight though.
