Intro
32 year old Fire/SWAT Medic from Alabama.
2003 after graduating highscool I was denied a contract to attend Seals or EOD due to the fact I found out I was red/green color deficient. So I chose not to sign any other contract in MEPS because I was highly Pissed. So I went home and became a firefighter and received my paramedic license and later getting assigned to the PD as one of their Medics.
As more SF/Seals I meet through classes from SWAT, I found there is waivers and reserve units in SF.
Therefore a friend notified me ab a PT tryout for the 20th beginning of this year. Never rucked or truly ran... I went to see where I would fail and start training from there. Push ups sit ups pull ups were my strong point but the 2 mile and rucking kicked my tail. Now 6 months later from training 5-6 days a week I got my 2 mile from 15:52 to 14:15'sh and rucking 12 mile from 3:02 to 2:32. Push ups stil over 80, sit ups over 80, pull ups around 32 (depending on the day).
My goal is make APFT @ 300. Just hope in the next 6 months I'm able to take the PT again and receive a contract.
I can finally put the regret behind
