I took my Army PT Test today and passed it. I did 51 push-ups (requirement was 42), 73 sit-ups (requirement was 53), and ran 2 miles in 14:58 (requirement was 16:00) Because I passed I am now a Private First Class. This means I have a higher rank and therefore be getting a higher monthly pay once I leave for Basic Training in a couple weeks. However even more important than the pay to me is the fact that 2 promotions before I even start basic training will look really good when I apply for Warrant Officer Flight Training next year.
I ordered more stuff off of Amazon. I got the season 2 DVD of Future Weapons (really awesome show), and some old computer games, mostly so if they allow me to have my laptop in my MOS training I'll have some games to play
One game I got was Soldier of Fortune 2, which was released back in 2002 or 2003. Even though the graphics and A.I suck by today's standards, I love it anyway because it's pure old school FPS; where the story didn't matter as long as you shot terrorists in a variety of locations with a variety of weapons. I have alot of nostalgia for the old Soldier of Fortune and James Bond shooters because they were just unadultered terrorist-blasting fun in everywhere from streets to jungles to underwater bases. Nowadays most FPSs are way too gimmicky or take themselves too seriously with their story.
I also got Iron Warriors, which is a tank simulater where you command a T-34, T-55, or T-72 tanks on the Serbian side of the Balkans conflict. I haven't played much of it yet. It's more complicated than I usually like my games to be, but it looks like a pretty cool game so I'll give it a shot.
I also ordered Apache Air Assault, a helicopter simulater, but it hasn't arrived yet.

Wow, you did very well it sounds like. Congratulations for that. Old-school computer games off of amazon.com, eh? Nothing like a little nostalgic PC gaming I say.
