my nemesis is chin up. the one that prevents me from getting gold/silver.
Hey, same here. My best ever was 7, but I struggled to attain the minimum 4 most of the time. Ended up sometimes pass; sometimes fail (causing extra PT); sometimes unit-officer "give chance" (coincidentally relieving the PTI for our vulnerable detail); sometimes medical excuse, lah (usually reservist).
Then got downgraded & everything "resolved" ~wink~
When accused of being unfit, I countered that I could run a 8:30 for SOC & 9:30 for 2.4. I dunno what's your unit culture now, but many combat people appreciated then that these asymmetrical fitness performers did exist here & there, & accordingly "helped" to settle things administratively (as long as you showed effort & could be graded as a borderline pass).
