Word on the street from one of my guys going through basic training as a prior service 18X- 18X's are not showing up to basic ready to go. 92 18Xs started in his company and it is now down to 65 left after only six weeks. Everything from PT failures to tobacco.

Take this as a wake up call. Basic training is no longer a give me. If you have signed an 18X contract you better show up to basic near 280 PT score, and you better be doing your pre-ship checklists. They will find out if you don't. The recruiter can only take so much of the blame for making you ready to ship- it is up to you to get where you need to be physically and mentally.
