thank you, i did 86 reps but only 83 counted. I wasn't tired, I just couldn't go any faster for the push ups.
The man who observed me said hes never seen any that high before. the most they have had someone do at his facility was 35-40 situps and 50 pushups.

What's more impressive to me is the 59 sit ups in such a short time frame. lol I did about 50 and I was pretty much slamming my back on the ground. I only did 1 more push up than what you get the maximum credit for, since I didn't want to tire myself out for the rest of the workouts. I did get maximum scores on everything though 83 is really good though. I wonder if I could have matched that...

For all of you filling out the Eqip: Cohabitant= To live together in a sexual relationship, especially when not legally married.

Just in case anyone makes the same mistake I did. You do not want to have to explain to MHC that you do not cohabitate with your parents... (or more realistically fill out the Eqip again lol)

[IamWolf]

Done with the polygraph. Now it's up to Quality Control to give me the final decision.

What many people fail to work on for their fitness test is muscular endurance. Many individuals are busy lifting heavy weights in small sets instead of a medium weight more times. Muscular endurance goes a LONG way no matter the discipline you are training for.

If anyone needs help, you are more than welcome to ask for it. Ill do my best to help. If you'd like some background on me... I was a collegiate athlete who competed in track and cross country as well as Tri's/Du's after college. I now coach at the collegiate level.

I know what you mean baha, I try to mix in lower weights at higher reps at least a few times a week in my work outs. Along with 35 to 40 min of running. Really it's the only thing at this point that I can do to prepare. Besides if I didn't, I think the waiting would drive me COMPLETLY insane haha.

Nice! How long have you been waiting? I've seen short timelines and REALLY long timelines. I hope I see some movement soon, background ha been in security office since March 23.

Well my BI finished everything and turned in my file around the beginning of november 2011. I got a NOPA around the end of november and submitted my response by december so now I'm just hoping for a positive outcome! Did you meet your BI yet?

FLETC is cool. Campus is big... it's starting to get hot. One things for sure, you get tired of the food at chow pretty fast. Always stay away from the grilled chicken because it's over cooked lol... I'm 3 weeks in. As for lectures it's seriously death by powerpoints haha.

LOL I'm a bit worried about the chow. Is there anything for vegetarians? They let you use laptops to take notes right?

[IamWolf]

Anyone here EOD to Calexico on July 2?

Your BI cleared in cass after 3 months?!?

IamWolf how was the polygraph??

In my opinion, no matter who administers your poly, it is never a pleasant experience. With that said, the special agent that administered my poly was one of the nicest and most professional individuals I've met. I was truly blessed. I was 110 percent honest so there was nothing left to say. Still he told me that quality control would have the final word as to whether I passed, failed, or had to do a retake.

I’ve heard the salad bar there is good, so that may be a great option for you. My friends who left for FLETC last week said the grubs good all around.

1 more day of pre-academy for me, can’t wait to get to FLETC.
