Friend of mine is 14-2 and EODs end of the month.

No two timelines are alike. Haven't you figured that out yet? [emoji14]

True dat.

[Pastelon]

Yea it's true but one always sees other people's application moving as a good sign, and maybe inside in each and one of us it gives us a lil bit of hope lol...

[Mike924]

Well I think woman have an advantage because we have something God gifted on our cheat so we don't have to go as low as men have to. That's what I meant by that. Sorry lol

Some men have that too

Just got the call yesterday for my first poly! I'm a 14-1 applicant with Midwest region. I am in alabama now but was told if I was able to get to orlando between April 9-16 it would expedite my process. Waiting to get the exact date. The last thing I have done is my VBT/SI on 9-23-14. I actually forgot I applied till now.

hope this means i will get called in for that time frame for the poly...otherwise i guess i will be waiting a while still....

my birthday is april 10, what a fun present it would be to have a poly on my birthday. bittersweet

If I had that gift I wouldn't leave home lmao...

Thank you Sir, I hope to see you one day and buy you a beer. Your help around here is appreciated.

Dos Equis, Alex Keith's pale ale or Red Stripe...depending on if I'm at a south, north or eastern port.;-)

Seriously,
You're welcome.

I'll consider us even if you come in and do the job as best you can. Cultivate a positive work environment and regardless of whether you spend a career in OFO or you use the job as a stepping stone to some other position...leave the job just a bit better off than when you joined.

17.5 minutes

17.5 minutes

It's actually 17 minutes 15 seconds, but the proctors tell you to try for under 15 minutes. Good luck!

17.5 minutes

Wow fairly easy, I always thought it was 15 min for CBPO's and 13 min for BPA's and was training for it. Oh well

Practice the whole pft2 many said that the sprint took much of their ounf... By the time they got to their 1.5 miles they were pretty drained... 10 years ago I would have done it easy but now at 37 I have to keep it up... I run 5ks frequently but last 5k I had an Achilles tendonitis injury so now am fighting that... Getting old sucks lol.. But I can outpushup any of you 20 yrs old lol ..

This is correct to graduate.

Abejjani,

I'll take that bet, good sir. Did 93 in a minute on my pft1. lol

My examiner stopped at about 42 before the time was up she said no need to tire myself before the step... Hopefully if I pass the poly next week I will take you up for the challenge maybe add some pullups to the challenge too how far are you in your process? Heading to FLETC any time soon ?
