Today we did the RPAT (Ranger Physical Assessment Test). Wow, I have never done this before and it was a challenge. You start off in full unifom (ACUs, boots, helmet, and body armor) and run two miles. Then you climb a 20 foot rope once, drag a skedco (litter) with 185lbs for 100 meters, then climb a 20 foot caving latter, then a 200m sprint (jog really), and then get over and 8 foot wall. If all of that wasn't enough, you finish with a final mile run. My time was 27:16 which was the second fastest in our class. That was great PT, but it was sure a smoker.
