Lots of updates!

I wonder if I'll remember to even write them all down and stuff! There's so many on my mind that I doubt it. Yet once I'm done with this journal I bet it won't seem like so many after all.
Let's start off with some good news! If fact, I think that's the only kind of news I'll be sharing this time around. First things first; my training. I've been doing physical training in the delayed entry program for a while now. At first... Boy did I suck! I'm not fat or anything, quite the opposite. I have a good, naturally athletic build. But I'm also lazy, so I didn't preform well at all.
To throw this all out there my starting run times for a mile and a half were 15:50 I believe. Passing time is 13:30. That's a HUGE difference and, trust me, shaving off that much time isn't as easy as it seems.
For the rest of the IST I have to do a minimum of 3 pull ups and 45(?) crunches in 2 minutes. (Unsure on the crunches, might be 55.)
I started pull-ups at 7, not bad. It wasn't too hard because I've always had good arm strength. If I remember right though... Crunches, for me, started at 37. It was pitiful!
During my training I've been working hard and improving a lot though! My latest scores are showing flying colors. I can now complete a mile and a half running it in 12:31. My pull-ups have increased to 10 and my crunches were at a whopping 87 last time I did them! I've felt very proud of myself for coming this far, but I still want to continue improving and becoming better.
Wanna hear even more good news? I'm going to be an Aviation Mechanic for the Marine Corps! :D Isn't that nuts?! I was so blown away that I got THAT job!
Now let's talk about other stuff. My sona, for instance! I have a question for you all. What would you think of me getting a picture and being a Floatzel now instead?
For all those that instantly become worried at seeing that, don't worry! I am NOT throwing my Raichu away, I still love my sona. In fact my Raichu is going to be my main sona. I just... Wanna be something else, ya know? Try things out and have fun! See what a Floatzel would look like as my sona. Again though, there's no way I'm throwing away my Raichu. I still have so much love for the design and all.

And well a floaty could look pretty nice as you, it would just need a pair of big ol' feetpaws hehe x/3
Talking bout feet, did you see the last pic a frend did for me? >///<
I can note you the link of the clean submission, but the messy one is at your own risk x/3
But yeah, great to hear you're doing great. :)
As for the Floatzel... well, I know where this came from. XD Whatever sona you like really, I say. ;P
And isn't that nuts? Working on stuff like that? I'd never have thought I would be the one doing that. Just... Never crossed my mind. I think I've heard that I'm going to just be staying in the country a lot as well, which is great news. Makes my family pretty at-ease that I won't be getting shot up.
