Hmm. My highly trained senses say that you're trying to tell me something...

My goal is 40 in a minute before basic. Can I make it? Maybe. I have decent upper body strength for a girl.
That is a good goal for sure! You will be suprised at the lack of fitness of your fellow Soldiers in Basic! It is absolutely mind shocking to me.

There are honestly people out there in the world that have never run or done any kind of phsycial fitness at all!

You are in for a lot of fun in basic! Folks from all walks of life and backgrounds!

I would be real curious as an Aikidoka to hear your perspective after you graduate on how you view the whole socialization process and "becoming a warrior".
