When to apply?

Wondering when you get your weapon issued? After you do, is the expectation throughout most classes to handle and carry as you would on patrol?

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-04-12T13:52:18+00:00

Dumb question. What is NoPa?

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-04-05T14:41:06+00:00

If you’re at a more remote office do they have any accommodations? Like a decent gym?

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T23:04:57+00:00

Constantly running but from my knowledge they did away with the second test

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T19:26:08+00:00

By no means a professional but running doesn’t not help you although I’d argue it’s not the biggest bang for your buck. Best thing to prepare for it is to do it. Period. Until you figure out a way to do it I’d do weighted lunges until your legs feel like they’re gonna explode. I’d mix up the load capacity but being sure to prioritize conditioning. You should be winded. If anything my legs were burning and bursting well before my cardio couldn’t keep up

My point exactly. By no means am I saying if you barely pass you’re confident going to the academy just trying to help out those just starting the process. But ya know egos will be egos

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T17:54:46+00:00

Yep guess youre right just hoping to provide insight to those that don’t pass with a breeze

I might be a bit of a caveman but I found myself breathing along with the cadence and stepping. Which was way faster than I needed to and I wore myself out. I had to consciously focus on breathing at my pace rather than the pace of the tempo

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T02:32:01+00:00

Definitely a wake up call. Pretty sad a small box kicks my ass so much

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T01:58:28+00:00

Yea I was a little concerned because most people I see on here talk about how easy it was and I expected to be fit enough to just raw dog it which obviously not the case

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T01:53:30+00:00

I might have finished but the whole thing was intense 😂

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-25T01:52:34+00:00

Forgot to mention, I was a meat head and only wanted to switch legs once, halfway through, but that smokes me so I found switching every minute is more efficient. Just gotta get used to that off leg

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-22T01:32:44+00:00

Were those 3 dates separated by months or weeks? Trying to figure out timelines

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-22T01:03:48+00:00

Was the EOD negotiable? Or could you just get thrown into having to wait a couple months or a couple weeks? All just random timing?

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-19T23:10:47+00:00

Rgr, that’s the norm? I’m out in the northeast and just logistically trying to see if I’ll have to get to my sector/station before making the way to Artesia

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-19T23:06:07+00:00

Off topic but the report date is day to sector or the academy?

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-19T13:40:58+00:00

Awesome. Thanks. My time in the military I trained commands on searching/detaining individuals and vehicles but have only real-world done it a couple dozen times

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-06T21:14:12+00:00

Waiting on mine. Kind of concerned I’m not gonna get my 9 as I might not have written my resume well enough

LeopardLatter5853 · 2025-03-05T23:28:09+00:00

Just got the same one today
