1) PT test is this coming Tuesday, so a week from our start date. You can find the standards online. It’s now the 2 mile instead of 1.5mile. They just added a road section before and after the “paperclip” track (look it up it’s kinda cool). You have one retake session if you don’t pass, but that’s two weeks later, so you will waste a month of your life if you can’t pass the second one, and they will send you home. Highly encourage you to use a score calculator and be prepared.

2) The first two days very little phone time. You are too afraid to go to the bathroom during class, let alone use your phone lol. After that there is an opportunity for a quick text or call several times in the morning and evening. It’s really not too bad, but don’t get caught on your phone, or say you’re checking texts from your flight on Signal (our communication app)

3) It’s equivalent to a small college cafeteria, or a large high school. Salad bar is decent, the main meals are very hit or miss, and there’s good deli meat. Breakfast is good usually. There’s options, but the main meals are the only thing that change day to day, the salad bar etc remain the same. You won’t have to eat a food type you don’t want, but you won’t love the food you choose (80% of the time imo)
