Thanks guys. It is going to be interesting to feel the heat during the summer academy, but it should be fun.

Congrats on the Phx Pd Job...

Couple words of advice:

Train now and train hard, expect to be running 2-4 miles the first week. That isn't that bad, now run 2-4 miles in 110+F outside...

Workout routinely until then, get into shape, it will pay off believe me.

Arizona academy's are VERY military run, if you were in the service you will have no problems, if you weren't, it will wake you up. Out of 40 recruits in the academy expect to graduate with ~20... They will drop like fly's the first couple weeks.

Good luck and remember to have fun..

Be sure to check out the "Salt River" when your out there this summer! You will be happy you did!

Hutch, when did you go through the academy in Phoenix. The reason I ask is that I start the academy this May.

Thanks,

Also, what should a person expect on day one the the academy.

[Hutch]

I when through it the same time..

You should be getting your instructions for the first day and what you shoudl expect. I didn't go through phoenix's so I don't know what there first day will be like. But, it is basically the scariest and funnest day you have for a while. You can congradulate yourself because you have just started the best job in the world.

The heat is turning on now out there. Granted it is not 110F out yet but it will be by the time your mid way through the academy. Just train now, run lots and workout you will be fine.

Look at it this way, you will graduate from the academy in the best shape you probly have been in years!
