Hello everyone
I want to let everyone know i am in the process of enlisting. I have had my apptitude testing and interview. Since i am 39 i had to get an over 40 medical through my family doctor. Everything is fine and the recruiting office has sent my results to Ottawa. It's a waiting game from here on in. Getting back in shape was seeming impossible at first. Now i can run at least 5k at a good speed with regular breathing. Gets easier every day. This site has helped me quite a bit in easing my worries about basic training. I know it will be hard but not impossible. My field is electrical and i am applying for mar el with the navy. Seems my experience will help me get an offer. If anyone can give me some of what to expect next that would be a big help. I'll let you know of my progress.
Here is my physical update.
6'1" 218lbs
2.4 k in 15 minutes
5 k in 36 minutes
Woulld like to be at about 180 - 190 lbs. This will come since i am addicted to running and the gym now. Eating right
Thanks to all for your posts . Alot of great info here.
