Physical Training Test

God is on Micah's side...not that I doubted it!  Micah is excelling in basic training, more than I had thought he would! He is getting very encouraged by how well he is doing. This past Monday, they did a physical training (PT) test again. Let me just say that the last time they did a PT test Micah scored a 255 but needed a 270 to get his cell phone privileges back. So he was determined to pass. He did this past Monday, with a score of 280. His motivation: Getting to call his wife and kids! Unfortunately the drill sergeants changed the rules on the cell phone privileges and said you must score above a 270 AND get 90% in each category (2 mile run, sit-ups, push-ups). Micah got:

100% in the run

96% in push-ups, and

89% in sit-ups

As you can tell, he was one percentage off in sit-ups to gain cell phone rights. He was very disappointed, but he is determined to not only pass but get a perfect score of 300 next Monday! I believe he will pass, it's just if the drill sergeants decide to change the rules again!

Oh, and to boast a little more about Micah: his score was the 2nd highest score in over 57 guys!
