Be completely honest and you won't have any issues. Unlike some members who think it's just "voodoo magic", it has it's purpose and it's a tool used for the background investigators. I highly doubt the Department would invest in the selection and training of actual bonafide Detectives to be...

Why wouldn't it count? If I ask you directly about past dating relationships and you start fumbling, then guess what! I'll start asking more.

Do yourself a huge favor and go to a running shoe store like snails pace before you go buying a 40 dollar pair of cheap running shoes from Big 5. It will payoff in the long run. They watch you run and properly fit you for your stride. I've been getting my running shoes there since the academy. I currently...
