Am I Prepared Physically?

Yeah, push ups are my weak point (it's tougher being 196 pounds and 6'4 lol) but I've been doing at LEAST 100 everyday using different variations, low sets, little rest, and high reps per set with proper form.

That was 43 in less than 1 minute lol Just did as many as fast I could with strict form (though I still could have held the push up position, rested, then pushed my way to 50+ if I'd done 2 minutes)

I tried to see if I could do it and i didn't go for a full 2 Minutes but I could do 37 In i believe 1 min or just under.

The 1 1/2 Mile I believe I have down I run cross country so i think I'm good there.

Sit-Ups i think I have down as-well. The problem with Sit-Ups that bugs me is the fact on a Gym Floor such as a High School Gym, which is also the Basketball Court its harder to do them because of the tailbone.

But i think you have some time like me as well to continue to Progress.

I don't know about RTC, but at OCS we were allowed to use foam mats for the sit ups.

I spoke with some sailors that graduated from A School not that long ago. They said foam mats are provided for the sit ups.

Thank You! Not to sound like a wimp but it just is kinda annoying if there isn't one. Well at least I don't have to worry about that I think for me its the Push-Ups.
