Hello :
I‘m applying for ROTP Nursing I‘ll be going into the Recruiting centre
with all my papers this coming Wednesday.
I pretty much have everything in order, except that my running is *just*
within the acceptable limits. In order words, I‘m a lousy runner. I‘m
very fit, though, for I swim every day and do aerobics step or regular
aerobics for one or two hours a day and I do weight training a couple of
times a week. I‘m just not a runner.
So my question is: Just how important is the ability to run? I‘m pretty
confident I can pass the step test or shuttle run, since I am in good
shape, but of course, having never done it before, I don‘t know whether
running ability itself is important, or whether or not being in good
physical shape is sufficient.
Also, wrt Basic Training, how much running can I expect? Again, I just
meet the minimum standards for running, but that‘s it. Hiking I can handle
- I‘ve done a lot of backpacking so I‘m used to slogging it for long
distances with a packsack on my back I‘ve just never done it carring a
weapon *grin*.
Anyhow, thanks for any advice you may have. :
