I scored a 280 on the PT test today and can run 6 miles in roughly 54 minutes. I have not platued in any part of my PT routine yet and I am not having any problems at my current weight, but I met a couple SF guys who told me to trim down to 200 lbs as a max. I do not leave until Oct 19 and if my training keeps progressing the way it has I should be between 315-325 on the extended PT scale and I should be able to run 6 miles in under 48 minutes. My question is should I lose more weight or would it be beneficial to carry a little extra into selection as long as it is not giving me problems and I can keep up physically?

Looks like you’ve got the benefit of a mentor in your AO, and he has given you advice twice already.
