The Situation:
Recently, the Air Force has upped the ante on how they run the Physical Fitness Test. This thing has always sort of hung over my head like the Sword of Damocles, but the rope just got a little thinner. Here's the deal: I'm not a good runner, I don't have a good waist measurement and getting push-ups counted has, from all reports, gotten considerably more difficult. Which leaves me with sit-ups which won't get me very many points. Also, because of the proximity of the close-out date of my performance report to when I'll take my PFT, there's a chance that if I don't pass, I won't have time to re-test, thus getting me a referral OPR (performance report) which will pretty much kill any chance I have for a career.
The Solution:
Operation No Referral OPR begings on Monday. I've been doing work-outs and what not, so I'm not starting from square one, but it's time to really kick it in to gear. I have a plan. I just need to stick to the plan. That's where this blog comes in. I'm borrowing a page from author Jen Lancaster (her books are hilarious, you should check them out) and making my quest public. I'll be more likely to work out if I have to post results for the world to see. It's all about accountability, people! :)
The Mission: Commence Operation No Referral OPR on 8 March 2010 and carry out until completion on or about 15 April 2010.
