Chicago Police Academy (METRO)

[purdue08]

I am going to the METRO section of the Chicago Police Academy and was wondering if anyone went before and what's like. I don't want to know things I shouldn't, but what's the postives/negatives of the academy, pointers, etc. and how hard is it to get through it all on a scale of 1-10. I am bored right now and excited to get started in 2 weeks. Thanks

I went through metro a handful of years ago. Haven’t spent just under 9 in the navy, I thought metro was a joke. There were so many people in that building from the Chicago hiring surge. It was literally high school in the hallways. Clicks, reports of people making rude comments to each other, he said she said. Grown *** adults can’t shut up when they see their instructors coming a mile away. It was Chuck E. Cheese for semi responsible adults. After week 3, it was literally a country club. We didn’t get “smoked” after week 7. Hopefully you’re on the 0500-330 schedule like I was, so you don’t have to pay for the garage by the madhouse. Even then, Chicago recruits would come at 0200/0300, and sleep in front of the academy for the premier spots.
