To amend even further...there's no chin-up test on the Expres.

There was a link somewhere on this site with the audio file, actually, and we used that for our practice sessions. Very, very helpful. If you search for "beep test" or "shuttle run" on YouTube, you should be able to find plenty of video examples there as well. :)

Just to add my 2 cents to what Moe said... I highly recommend that you (and anyone heading to basic) learn about the shuttle run and find a way to practice it before you go. It really is different from just straight running. Practicing the 20 msr before our Jan. basic saved at least a few of my...

I just called Blockbuster and they don't have this movie, nor is it in their computer for the next month. Where can I find it?

There are two dates for Borden...8 Sep and 14 Sept. Regardless of the date, you should arrive the day before as per the instructions. Definitely ask CFRC staff for confirmation when you swear in, though. They should provide you with a copy of your joining instructions then, anyway.

You're leaving Sept 14th? According to the joining instructions, we should arrive prior to 2 p.m. on the 13th (Sunday).

I'm watching TV with my daughter, wondering where more than half the summer has gone!! Wow, time does fly!  :P

No, sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear. They won't stop you. The test will stop if *you* stop or even pause during the push-ups. You can pause during sit-ups without penalty, but push-ups have to be continuous. If your form is wrong, what they will do is not count them...so you'll be going...

Looks interesting. I am planning to check it out. :)

If you are female, 10 push-ups will get you a pass on that portion of the Expres. Females 35+ = 7 push-ups, 34 - = 9 push-ups. However, if you are male, you will need to do more than 10. I know it's 19 for the 34 and under set, not sure about 35+...maybe 14? (If you do a search on the site, you...

It took me a long time to build up the strength to do even one push-up. One thing that helped me was getting into a plank position and holding for as long as possible. Another thing was using my stability ball to elevate my feet while I lowered myself to do 'half push-ups'. Weight training...

Nope. I will see you there. :)

I can and I will.  :)  :salute:

Exactly right. There is no actual stipulation against having a shadow kit. I would never suggest for a moment that our DS were stupid enough to think people didn't have spare soap and shaving cream. As I mentioned previously, they never opened our private cubbies during inspection. They knew...

"Salads *with* every meal." Oh, for heaven's sake, I give up. Some folks are just going to put their own spin on something to suit their purpose. Have at 'er...I'm off to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day...

Nice.  ::) I don't know where I said I chose desserts over full courses. I ate very nutritionally, actually. Salads with every meal. Lots of whole grains and fruit. Go ahead and make more assumptions here about me and my potential as a leader, though. With every word you type, you give...

Dang it...hate it when that happens.  ^-^

hahaha!  Started drinking early today. ;) Yes, I definitely meant feet. 1' X 1'  ;D

Or write a 2000-word essay on why buttoning all your buttons is important.  >:D Here's a tip: Check all your buttons after your inspections. Sometimes, the DS' hands slip and accidentally open a couple when they are perusing your closet. ;) There's a personal locker space of about 1" X 1" to...

You can get swiffers, Magic Erasers, gloves, etc. at the Canex. You can also get books and pens, but you will get what you need from your course staff in that regard anyway, so I really wouldn't bother spending any $$ on that. When you run out, you just send a msg through your chain of command...
