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.

To be clear - while you will have mats for your PFAs - your RDCs will also make you practice in the compartment during regular PT, and you don't get a mat then.

We don't use them at my A school either, but that's because everything's done outside on the field.

I know. It hurts my tailbone if I don't use a mat.
