23 May 18 Pilot/NFO Selection Board

[Jsmit141]

I looked at that leaderboard for “Murph”, how the hell are guys pushing 20 minutes on that circuit?
1 Mile run @ 5:00
100 pull-ups @ 1:40
200 push-ups @ 3:20
300 squats @ 5:00
1 mile run @ 5:00
= 20:00

That’s the best way to do it though man. I remember when I came back from being out of shape I could only run 2 miles at 7:20 pace completely gassed. Ran 5 days a week and in a little over a month’s time, I got down to a 10 miler at 6:45 average pace. Just gotta be patient, but you also gotta push the limit a bit everyday w/ proper rest days and diet for recovery. You’re gonna eat it, but don’t let that discourage you.

Must be doing crossfit pullups

Some of those CrossFit guys’ techniques are cringe worthy.. Especially on the lifts. Can’t believe they don’t have more injuries.

Anyone/everyone doing Murph tomorrow?

Never knew about this and have been traveling all weekend, so I’ll have to give this a go a day late. Let you guys know how it goes! Looks awesome!

Took me a little less than 45, I'd be scared to meet the man/woman who could finish that in 20 minutes

I think the Murph conversation sufficiently distracted us for the remainder of the longest weekend of the year. Maybe we will hear some news tomorrow. Crossing my exhausted fingers.

And after that reminder came the longest 7 hours of my life, before I go to sleep to wait for a call tomorrow.

Well here to hopefully hearing something this week!

 

[Mike L.]

My OR told me that they are still making decisions for some people. The earliest we would hear is Thursday is what she told me.

Do we know if that applies for everyone, or just the people they’re still deciding on?

Assuming everyone since no one has posted their results yet.

Seeing as this wait is obviously going to kill me, someone please ensure they put “Pro Rec Y SNA” on my headstone if I get selected.

 

[RocksAndWedes]

I feel like applicants got phone calls throughout the day and since it’s already 1:30PM Eastern Time it has to be for everyone.

I was (mostly) kidding with the Dr-Cox-bashing-his-head-repeatedly thing last week but I'm getting there for real now.

...was that only a week ago?

Do you still want your board results on there in the other case?

Actually, I'm getting paranoid enough at this point to be actually worried about invoking some bad juju for that joke. Not good.

I’ve been carrying fortune cookie fortunes around for a week just in case it helped my luck, I think this is getting to all of us.

If I don’t get selected just put “Should have studied harder” ?
