Nice, they would be the first agency I know of to allow the use of headphones during the run. Any idea how critical they are for the physical? I know they don't have a "passing" score for the physical but I can imagine they'd want you to be in good shape.

I'm just curious for any of the current or prior Air Marshals, do you know of anyone who got accepted with not being up to par in the pull up portion of the pt test? That's the only thing I'm worried about but still working on until I have my interview

For anyone that is doing it in Houston the run is done on a treadmill and we were informed of a new change that allows applicants to wear headphones while doing the run. I don't know if that new change is specific to Houston or if all the FOs allow it.
if i may ask.....how is everyone doing on the PT.......where are you ranking? is everyone coming in at good and excellent?
this PT is intense compared to CBPO and BPA.
i have hard time running on a treadmill, i prefer on a track.

Hey guys! Very happy to have passed the panel. For those of you concerned about the treadmill, we did run on a treadmill. It was incredibly difficult for me mentally to push myself because of the safety concern and the mental barrier of not actually going anywhere. However, I did well otherwise, with 60ish ups, 18 pull-ups and 50ish sit ups. My run was around 12ish, and my normal time is usually two minutes minutes better than that. Just be prepared to do it on a treadmill, and run 1.5 over and over on a treadmill until your assessment. Bottom line just do your best!
Other than that, I was very impressed with the agency. For the local cops thinking of going FAMS you will not be alone. Throughout the field office I was at, supervisors to physical training instructors and of course regular flying FAMS were prior service State/Local LE. They were professional, friendly, and shed a very positive light on the agency. The camaraderie appeared to be high, and it seemed there were guys cycling in and out of the gym and the range.
I actually left the interview more excited for the FAMS than when I got there.
