Fitness went green today on CASS and my medical says "your medical has been sent to our Medical Review Office for a determination. We normally receive a determination approximately 4 weeks after your exam date."

Took both exams Dec. 17.

I am not too sure if anyone answered this. If a candidate clears all parts of the hiring processes (BI, drug test, poly, etc), but chose the wrong duty location at the time of applying for the position. Can the candidate request to change duty locations when offered the job? I selected NE region but did not realize that JFK, PA, Newark is in the central east until recently. Thanks in advance!

I think you're out of luck. Maybe you can do a port swap with another officer (after you're hired)? Someone who is actually an officer should probably answer this question though.

You can try, but you're pretty SOL.

You could swap when you're in.

You can't request a change when offered the job, I am pretty sure you would have to apply again once the position is posted again. I do recommend checking out the delphi forum as that forum always has people looking to swap and most of them are trying to get out of jfk, so you might have good chance.

Hello people.. I take my PFT 1 next week I'm nervous. I don't know what to expect on the lift and side step test..

I found a proper step height and used an on-line metronome set to 120 and did the 5 minutes 3-4 times in the weeks before the test. It got easier each time. When I did the real test it went quick. Also, make sure you do it after doing the other 4 tests in the proper order. It makes a difference. Plus, having done it in practice gives you the mental edge that you KNOW you can do it. Best of luck.

Thanks I was more worried about the side step test because I don't know how to practice for it really and the lift lower test.

The side step u can take three pieces of tape and put it on ur floor. Place one in the Middle. The measure 6 feet to the left of the middle tape and place another tape at the 6 feet point and same for the right. To practice start off in the middle with the middle line in between ur legs. And then side step as fast as u can to one side and then all the way to the other side. That is three touches. Hope that makes sense.
