pass + incentive redux

So before I knew it it was time for ippt again - here's how it turned out this time:

Station: Score (Pts)
Sit Up: 38 (4)
Broad Jump: 221 cm (2)
Chin Up: 6 (2)
Shuttle Run: 9.8s (4)
2.4km Run: 11:30 min (3)

Total: 16
Result: PASS
Award: INCENTIVE (which btw is $)

Looking at these results compared to last year's, basically there's a slight improvement since overall i did increase by one point (and hence up my ippt cap from 3 to 3.2), although the award obtained is still the same, and i actually worsened in three of the five stations. Whatever it is, i'm very thankful for being able to clear it because i was at times extremely worried that i'd fail and end up having to kena rt... Especially glad that all that running paid off - haven't run 2.4 at that time since ORD... Though of course pull ups and standing broad jump - always the two thorns at my side throughout my NS ippt life still have to be looked at if i want to get double the $ next time - but i shall not ponder upon what might have been - it's cleared and over with - that's all that counts =)

Well it turns out that most of the people taking the ippt today were much older - a lot of them were rt personnel in fact. The average age was so far above my own that one of the PTIs saw me, gave a puzzled stare, and then clarified if i was cat X (<25), before asking then how old i actually was - i suppose that i stood out so much like a sore thumb that i must have given people the impression that i was some slack nsf...

So now the only thing left is packing *cue ominous music*...
