Hi everyone! I encourage everyone to keep training hard. I've been going hard since January.
I went on vacation for a week, came back last week; since then I've been eating with no training lol. But went to test myself this morning and I was surprised to sprint a quarter of a mile in 62 seconds and ran 1.5 miles in 12 minutes 10 seconds. I thought I was out of shape because I stopped for a few weeks. The moral is train as hard as you can while you can. Just want to encourage people who in need for it.

You are quick. I completed my 1.50 mile run in 13:29 and I was the 5th person to cross the line out of 12. Lol I decided to take a week off of all my exercises, and get back to it this week.

Wow thats a very good time, any tips on how to train for the 1.5 mile? I hate running ugh

[LadyP86]

Yes, I am also part of 15-1. And you are right! I've notice they are moving pretty quick compared to some TL. I've applied based on education/bilingual ( spanish) with no prior LE or military experience. Next week I have my VBT/SI and my PFT1

Well my VBT isn't until June 23rd.... Pt1 is Thursday 😨. What region are you going for?

Pastelon, I run at least three times a week. When I'm running, I sprint for a few seconds, then run in normal speed for a few minutes. I keep switching like that for 20 to 30 minutes.
not sure if it's a good way to train but it works for me lol.

I selected the Central/East Coast region. I am from the East Coast. What about you LadyP86?

[Thecldriver]

I kept going for almost all, walked about 10 steps to regain myself and continued on. From my past experiences instructors care more about not walking than your time.

Received my final letter of employment today. Called MHC just to verify my grade and step upon EOD which will be 7-9. So happy this has become a reality after nearly 10 years of waiting.

Did your letter clearly show the 7-9 or you were simply told this verbally when you called? When do you expect to get a call from someone from your POE explaining day one and what to bring?
