<p>yeah i have a hard time with holding my head up in push ups too..</p>
<p>me too....</p>
<p>hey uncynical...if its not too hard to calculate will you see what i would get on the physical?</p>
<p>gender: female
pullups: 2
long jump: no idea..heh..but white girls cant jump
sit ups: 105 (and yes monkey person i actually did them in time limits and by the book)
pushups: 65
600 run: i dont know how far a 600 run is..
1.5 mile run: 11:04</p>
<p>Tegan, the max for pushups for females is 48 (which is 100 points) and the max for situps is 95 (which is another 100 points). Those two combined with the pullups would get you 237 points. If you jump the average of 6'3 and run the average of 2:12 (each for 50 points), you'd have 337 total. This is equivalent to a 2.5 on the 4 point scale.
Running the AFT in 11:04 is 391 points, which converts to a 2.7 on the 4 point scale.</p>
<p>man..that really doesnt seem very good...i guess i need to work harder..lol</p>
<p>Actually, that's pretty decent. My class seems to have an issue with physical fitness and with those scores you'd be in the top half athletically</p>
<p>I agree on holding the head up during pushups...it's not difficult...it's just uncomfortable. I'd rather just stare at the ground.</p>
<p>"No one said it was going to be easy."</p>
<p>Heartcross, you asked about a string quartet -- don't know about chamber groups, but there is a string group that meets on Sunday evenings. During fall semester, they accompanied a local youth orchestra in a concert at one of the malls, and also accompanied the Catholic Choir winter concert.</p>
<p>Plan on taking the instrument out during Parents Weekend, or shipping it -- she should not take it before BCT.</p>
<p>Thanks--I figured that she couldn't have it during BCT--not that she could stay awake to play it anyway! Fortunately, we live close enough that we would not have to ship it...</p>
<p>So...obviously cadets get wool blankets that are their class color, but I was wondering if we bring our own sheets or what?</p>
<p>No those are provided...ha ha good first post.</p>
<p>sweet deal!</p>
<p>Most kids sleep on top of their blankets and sheets so you don't even see em most of the time.</p>
<p>Why do they sleep on top of everything?? That seems sort of odd.</p>
<p>So they don't have to remake the bed. It has to be perfecto to pass inspection. This is especially true during summer training.</p>
<p>oh, got ya.</p>
<p>where are you in the process MM?</p>
<p>After four degree year you can use your own bedding. I have really comfortable sheets and a balnket with my USAFA comforter on top. For upperclassmen, beds only need to have the issued comforter draped over the top for AMIs. Freshmen need their beds in SAMI, Perfectly made. Most four degrees don't sleep in their sheets. You can have a sleeping bag if you want as a four degree. Then you can sleep in it on top of your bed. It will only take a couple of minutes to tighten up your bed in the morning if you do this.</p>

<p>While there tends to be more of an emphasis on this during BCT, as you mentioned, all of four degree year there is an emphasis on attention to detail. How good a bed looks is a good indication to me as to how the rest of the room looks. If a bed looks extremely good, I'm less likely to go in and check things such as drawers, closet, window runners, etc. However, if a bed looks horrible, it makes me wonder what else is wrong with the room. Granted, beds and the rest of the room aren't necessarily always in the same condition, but when I was my squadron's training officer, it's a rule of thumb I used quite often. If I noticed beds in general were looking bad, I'd mention it; if they hadn't improved in a couple days, I'd go around flipping beds that looked especially horrible. Seeing as it's a hassle to keep remaking beds, this doesn't need to be done too many times for the message to get across.</p>
