Final Signature, Fingerprints.....Start Training

http://www.navy.mil/local/crb/

I went to the NRD Philly (Naval Recruiting District Philadelphia) to signs some final documents and left with purple fingertips from old fashioned, non-digital fingerprinting.

The next thing is that my recruiter, Lt. Mike Maher, will receive the COMDOCS - Commissioning Documents. When these are received, I can set up being commissioned a DCO (Direct Commission Officer) and I will find out what rating I'll come in as:  either a Lieutenant J.G. (Junior Grade) with 1/2 stripes or a full Lieutenant (two stripes.)

I hope to do the Commissioning Ceremony after 12noon Sunday mass soon after. Stay Tuned.


Start Training.
Went to the gym Tuesday and Tonight. My base in physical requirements so far is 42 pushups in 2 minutes, I did 50 situps (on the slightly inclined bench) in 2 minutes and I ran 1.5 miles in 12:43 and almost died (Not really.) For my age, that would earn me "Good" across the board for Navy PRT. Not bad.

So I have a ways to go to "Excellent," 60 pushups, 78 situps and 1.5 miles in 11:23...
