To help with my pull ups I've started the Recon Ron pull up program. My last APFT was a 291 with 67 pushups, 85 sit ups and an 11:36 2 mile. Once I max my dang pushups I'll be in the 300's. I run 4-5 times and ruck 2-4 times a week including weekly dunes runs/rucks. For extra practice with land nav I hit up local orienteering clubs, as per the suggestions in "Get Selected." Over the last few months I've been adjusting my diet and cutting out processed food and sugars, and I've weened myself off any type of supplement. I'm also very cognizant of my daily water intake. I'm very lucky, my college campus has a large number of veterans going back to school on their GI Bills. As such I've been able to find several retired QPs that are happy to mentor me and share their experiences. I've also started learning Russian through a combination of Rosetta Stone, private tutors and iTunes U free lectures.

So, if I'm reading this right on any given weekday you are doing PT with your ROTC unit, doing a SOF WOD, doing a pull up workout and either running or rucking?
Rest much?
