My BF is National Guard and is doing ROTC while in college - we've been together for a year, have all sorts of plans revolving around him commissioning ... and he can't seem to pass his PT test to go to LDAC this summer. He's freaking out, I'm freaking out, and I could really just use some support right now... it's getting hard to be the one who gets to be the sounding board all the time - I don't really have an outlet, no friends among his (much younger) ROTC group or among his Guard unit.
I'm just so worried - he's put so much into the idea of spending another 10+ years in the military (he's prior service from another branch) and I just don't know what we'll do if he doesn't make it in - I know he doesn't want to go enlisted, but the idea of him graduating and not having a job lined up is really damn scary!

Not sure how bad it went this morning but I know the other week he missed by 7 push ups and 4 seconds on his run. He's 28.0

I'm afraid that at this point it's too late. He's not going in to it without practicing - he's been working out five times a week since September, with a couple of weeks off around the Holidays - and the workouts pretty much consist of practicing the test. Not sure what the problem is, maybe stress?Is he Air Guard or Army Guard?
