What to do before you leave

First thing is get in shape. One of the biggest reasons people don't graduate on time is because they can not pass their Final PFA (Physical Fitness Assessment). Most guys have to complete the 1.5 mile run in 12:15, do about 50 push ups and about 60 sit ups. Most women have to do the 1.5 mile run in 14:45, do about 20 push ups and about 60 sit ups. Requirements vary by age.

Second get all of your personal obligations taken care of. You will only get about 3 phone calls during your stay. There is no time to be taking care of your finances. 

If you are in DEP (Delayed Entry Program) for awhile start doing your PQS (Personal Qualification Standard). It could mean more money. If you complete the PQS, pass your Initial PFA and pass a 50 question test you will be advanved to E-2.
