9 Stoners took up the challenge of the quarterly APFT. 0530 Disclaimer given and warmarama commences in lot as we wait on Love Seat…and then MC, as he must have left the house at 0530.  Probably knew where we would be, so there is that. Mosey to entrance for the Army Physical Fitness Test: 2 […]

Q: Heatstroke Pax: Steel Cannon, Detention, Backstop, Schnitzel, Gilligan, Soprano, Kilowatt, Life Alert, Peanuts   Quarterly now extends to nearly 15 months.  Let’s face it, the fitness level has gone down a bit with some added weight for YHC, so he wasn’t all that excited about exposing that fact with another dose of the APFT.  […]

YHC thought he mitigated any potential frightsacking for his APFT Q with the mention of no 2 mile run, but he was clearly wrong…very wrong.  Only 2 men joined YHC…and these 2 actually LIKE the 2 mile timed run!  Anyhoo, a disclaimer is given and Warmarama commences right there in the lot as we are […]

YHC put out a pre-blast the night before that we would be having an Absolutely. Positively. Fantastic. Time. this morning.  Put the beginning letters together and you get: APFT.  A fan favorite…  You can probably measure how fast time goes by the feeling of how quick another APFT rolls up on you, “has it really […]

Mid 50s, really?! Let’s do this!  YHC had thoughts of backing off the quarterly APFT due to the delightful weather, but decided no, no substitutions today.  Our every 3 month accountability test would go off as planned.  A clipboard, phone/camera with flexible tripod was dropped at the alcove and 6 men not scared of said […]

Nothing like a “quarterly” APFT for a fitness check-up 8 months later.  There is a tendency to frightsack this one so YHC was intentionally vague about it the night before, although certainly some knew it was coming and probably did not even bother to set their alarm clock.  No matter!  8 men ready to see […]

After a month postponement due to icy conditions, it was that time again.  APFT time.  Time to measure yourself against the standard.  Have you improved, have you backslid?  One way to find out…get after it.  After welcoming FNG Matt, The Force from LKN (friend of FNG Matt) and Soprano (back from injury) then after a […]
