My process of enlisting actually reflects the Army fairly well now that I think about it. My recruiter took care only of the initial paperwork to ensure that wasn't a criminal, drug addict, or invalid. After that, getting him to actually do some work for me to ensure my enlistment went smoothly was impossible. He cost me several days of pay needlessly due to his inattention of what was required for my specific job. Someone else in his office had to take care of me. From time I completed the enlistment process, I had to wait 7 months before I finally shipped out.

Can you breathe? The new ACFT is a little more demanding but not by much. Deadlift 140 pounds, sprint drag carry, some push-ups, overhead ball throw, 2-mile run, and 3 leg tucks is all you need.
