Finally made it down to the SF recruiter yesterday. I enrolled in BSEP to up my GT score, scheduled my physical, and started taking care of all associated medical stuff. Looks like I should be hitting SFAS in May assuming I don't get fucked up in the meantime.
Started Wendlers 5/3/1 programming for strength training, running upwards of 10 miles a week, rucking 6 miles with 40lbs once a week.
I just scored a 275 on the APFT, my 5 mile run is sitting near 35min or better, and continually finish the above ruck in <55 minutes.
Just to break some mental barriers I completed a GORUCK and Tough Mudder this past year. Neither of which were very difficult but served as a decent gut check.
Physically I feel great and have no worries on that end. Mentally I'm just pushing through the new stress since PCS-ing my family to Bragg and settling into my new unit.
I've been re-reading and taking notes on Leadership and Training for the Fight and The Mission, the Men, and Me. I've found both books to be great. I've also started Black Site by Dalton Fury to break from the all the recent non-fiction I've been reading.
It's time to get switched on.

Stop running with your ruck, if there is any weight in it.
