Process Update

So the process as it stands of right now is we are waiting for 3 things. For some reason the background investigation has to be restarted, I actually did the fingerprints on Friday, so that should be under way by the end of the week.

Second thing is I need to pass a Navy Physical Readiness Test (PRT). This consists of doing as many push-ups and sit-up as possible in two minutes followed by a 1.5 mile run. I need to do a minimum of 54 sit-up, 44 push-up and 12:53 run. On Friday, I did my first PRT and failed the sit-up and 1.5 run. There are plenty of excuse I could come up with, but bottom line is I didn't have the endurance or stomach muscles to pass it. I am now doing two workouts a day, running at least three miles in the morning doing interval training and then strength training in the evening. Along with meeting with a personal trainer. So I have a week and a half to pass the test.

Assuming I pass this test on the 4th of August, and the background gets started, then by the middle of August I should have the final thing I am waiting on, the Final Select Letter. This Letter would provide me with my date that need to report to Rhode Island. Based on my discussion with the Office Recruiter (OR), it should be either the 24th of October or the 14th of November. Worst case would be the 5th of December. So that is were we stand now.
