Thanks Sudosumoniker! I've been training to the graduation standard as being prior military I've stayed in great shape. I can only hit 15in right now in my vertical leap, so I'm hoping by the time I take my PRT, I'll hit 18in. I did my agility drill just under the allotted time to graduate, but I really want to build a bigger cushion for myself. I ran my 1.5 mile for Pittsburgh PD in 11:27, and 55.67 sec for my 300 meter shuttle so I'm comfortable with those areas. I've been doing lots of body squats and leg press to work on my jump, so hopefully I'll get there. Thanks again for your tips!

Does anyone know what exactly we'll be doing on the date we actually report? It says we'll be there for 8 hours, so I can't imagine we'll take more than 4 hours to test everyone's fitness level. I know we'll have pre-poly screening as well, so aside from those two events, are we doing anything else? To me, drug testing could be done that day as well.

After the PRT you do the pre-poly screening which takes quite a while as well. How long it takes you will probably depend on your history. I'm fairly young and have stayed out of trouble, so it was pretty quick for me. After you've filled out everything you still need to wait for the staff to go over everything and make sure you didn't make any mistakes. You leave once they say you're good to go. It could take 8 hours, but it may take you less.
With that being said, if you read through some of the older threads you'll see where other groups in the past were split up; half took the PRT while the rest did the pre-poly, then switched. I can see that taking longer if you have to wait for everyone in your group to finish the pre-poly before doing the PRT.

At ours in Hershey, we first turned in the background packet. Then we did the PRT test which does take a bit of time depending on how many applicants there are at your location. They broke us up into groups for the 1.5 mile run depending on how fast you said you could run, but pretty much every group ended up taking the ~18 minutes because of stragglers. So time adds up pretty quickly there. If its a cold and windy day, make sure you dress for it.

Then all I have left is the psych/medical which my investigator said is simple and u don't have to do a follow up on after it, its just a pass/fail for the psych. then around January I should be getting my appointment letter for the academy in February! soooo on that noteeeee .::fingers crossed::.
