To get a 598 (should've been 600) on your first try is one of the most impressive things i have seen in my life. Thank you for doing this. If i wasn't convinced you're the GOAT I am now!

I was in the Air Force back in the late 70s, early 80s... Back then our physical fitness requirement was to "run" 1.5 miles in under 14:30.... I was at my max weight for my height and constantly harassed by the Squadron Commander from our Orderly Room, (if we go to war, everyone is going to be waiting on you) he was a 2nd Lt., probably only a few yrs older than me... We ran the annual event on a 1/4 mile track... This chubby kid ran it in just under 9 minutes and posted the 3rd fasted time of all enlisted folks in my unit... on my last lap, I lapped the 2nd Lt, I quickly grabbed a cigarette from a friend, and was smoking it next to the start/finish line as the 2nd Lt ran by with one lap to go and cheering him on... you can do it!! A few days later at Commander's Call, I was brought up on stage and given a 3 day pass for a top 3 finish..... He never harassed me about my weight again... lol I hope their standard has changed, cause 1.5 miles in 14:30 was way too easy, you could probably walk it in with a fast paced walk...

Amazing job Nick, it shows you are a world class athlete and your pursuit of fitness keeps others motivated. I'd like to give props to the Soldiers in the video who also did the test. CPL Gabby did amazing, she would be on the high upper end of the spectrum for female scores. The leg tuck has been the event that has destroyed the most Soldiers. I'm not sure what kind of demonstration the Soldiers gave you on the pushups, your arms are supposed to be completely straight out to the side on each rep so you did not meet standard on that event. Excellent job nonetheless!
