If this thread is still about who is going to DEO BOTC in Jan, 2006, then I have a post.  If not, I'm going to do a little hijacking for a moment. I just got the call yesterday and will be attending this BOTC as an Infantry Officer.  Look forward to meeting everyone who will be there, and good...

UPDATE. Position Offered: November 2, 2005 Basic Training Begins: January 10, 2006 Good luck to everyone else waiting to hear.

So, I got a message from my recruiting centre yesterday saying that I should call them back regarding my selection.  I called them back, and was asked whether or not I was still interested in the position.  The recruiter said that this was not a regular thing and that she was unsure as to why...

That's exactly the type of thing I was hoping to hear.  Thanks for the good news. I also don't have any "issues" with regards to medical requirements, so hopefully my results will get pounded through in time for the next board. Thanks again.

SeanPaul, you're exactly right about assuming that someone who weighs 240 being stronger than the person weighing 170.  Their ability to do the same amount of pushups means that they have similar muscular endurance when it comes to doing this exercise, and they would be equally strong on a...
