Congratulations Kattle! Where in San Diego did you have the PFT2? outdoors or indoors? If they had you run on a track, did you do half a lap for the 220 yards? I am practicing at my local high school track, so your insight will give me an idea of what to expect. I am from southern California, and I am schedule to take my PFT2 in San Diego.
My backgrounds Inv. went green on CASS last week, and I also had my drug test completed last week. I am hoping to get my EOD call by next week.

1.5 Mile Run - 11 minutes 38 seconds
It was easier than I expected. There were 8 CBP and 9 BP there. They had us assigned a certain order and so we took turns doing each thing so we got more rest which was nice. The very first guy on the 220 Sprint pulled a hamstring and so he was automatically DQed. I met three other people there EODing with me and going to the academy with me so with them and the people I've met on here I'll at least know some people to help cope with the huge change.
You'll do fine Jade. Just keep up the training.Geo - East Texas

I doubt any special dress code requirements would be made strictly for your "friend". However, if there is any issue, I am sure your "friend" will be notified during their pre-academy employment.

I love how anytime somebody asks a question for a friend it must be about them. I don't have any tattoos nor do I plan on getting any. I am still in the process unlike my "friend" who EODs very shortly and doesn't have an account. Also it's not a rhetorical question at all. I found out from someone who unlike you actually has knowledge of the situation. Tattoos are permitted in both areas as long as they are not gang related. But thank you for taking time out of your busy day to not answer my question.
