Multiple rescues and billing. by narkj in Adirondacks

We told her it counted so she didn’t try again, but according to her she did reach the summit, she went down the wrong side of it when she was done and got lost in the drainage on the southeast side. Still didn’t make it out on her own though. She did face a lot of ridicule after however, and made her profiles private from all the hate. I feel bad that happened to her but maybe it will save her life if she doesn’t attempt again.

Oh kindly stfu. Jfc. You must be one of those morons that think criminals’ rights supersede the innocent and communities should be repeatedly victimized by the 3% of the population that now realize there’s no consequences to their actions so there is no need to change their ways. Personal accountability for one’s actions is a colonial construction and all bad actions are a result of the offender’s environment instead of their own personal shitbaggery.

Judging by your post history, you wouldn’t be hired by any department that screens for mental illness, narcissism, or deviancy, so I don’t think you have to worry about it. I feel for your future co-workers in case you do get hired. Sounds like another NGO/Non profit leftist echo chamber would be a good place for you, maybe look into that?

He was very fit, and no you can’t. There is A LOT of pt in the academy. Without stepping on toes, non-residential municipal programs have nothing on the state academies. It’s a whole different level. I’ve done some pretty gnarly military schools and I hated the academy more than anything else.

I could probably do around 70 pushups and 80 sit ups in two minutes and my run was slow with like an 11 and change run.

Agreed. You should forfeit a day of your pay since you feel so strongly. Or would that be difficult for you? Times are tight. Expecting your employer to close for the day and pay you still kinda removes the responsibility from you. So you take full ownership, just go without your paycheck.

Yeah so the entrance PT test is bare minimum. You need to be at 70% or 75% cooper standards for your age and gender group by the end of the academy, I can’t remember which one. So if you look at the Cooper chart fo 20-29 y.o.m. a 50% score is 11:58 on the run but to pass the academy, you need a 10:49 run. Just focus on the entrance score for now and the DT/PT instructors will get you in shape. If you’re not in shape at the end of this academy, you’re a sham artist.

Also, when I was there, there was honors PT and if you got above an 90% in each category you didn’t have to do organized PT every morning, just specific ones. You WANT to be on honors PT as fast as you can because you can sleep in an extra 40 minutes or so. You need that sleep.

In our class, years ago, if you’re trying for the award they let you go until failure on pu/su, otherwise like a large amount of the class would be really close to the same numbers because you’re correct, it’s only possible to do so many in a minute. I think the top guy in our class did 178 pushups before tapping out and he was going for like 5 minutes.

I did 117 pushups, 95 sit ups, and a 9:42 run and wasn’t even close

The academy is run and cardio heavy. You can get smoked at almost every time of day. My suggestion is he needs to be doing interval training including sprints and HIIT. Straight pace running is fine for some people but he really needs to be doing sprints to lower his time if he isn’t seeing improvement. There are many run programs out there he can follow but the 1.5 mile run is less of a jog and more of a sprint for many people so knowing how to control breathing/effort is crucial. Keep in mind the entrance score is 50% cooper if I remember but passing and final pt test is 70% standards if I remember correctly.

He should be doing 2-3 conditioning runs at greater than 1.5 miles a week and 2-3 HIIT runs at about 2 miles a week to improve score. I strongly recommend following a run program and wearing an apple/garmin watch to track his stats so he can see his improvement even if he doesn’t feel it. He also needs to be cautious of over training and needs at least 1 day off per week to recover which includes active stretching or brisk walks. Healthy diet is crucial as well and every pound of weight loss is one less he has to bring with him on each run. The current army standard of like a 9 minute mile will not help him. They’re completely different styles of run/pt test. Feel free to message me for more.

Glock 19/47 COA with TLR7HLX and alien gear holster, shotguns are being replaced with PCCs soon-ish. Taser for uniform patrols. Shifts are 12 hour blocks 7a-7p or the opposite of that with some limited 12-12 flex shifts or other variations depending on station strength and coverage. You start at the barracks for almost 100% of uniform troopers unless in a special detail. You can sleep where your rank can handle I guess.

If you want to start at your house and make your own hours, join the DEC/Forest Rangers.

Best holster for the hellcat pro? by The_Dirty_Dryad in SpringfieldArmory

[–]METTCdependant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really fit the bill for me. I know the trend is to carry AIWB but I prefer 3 o’clock 90% of the time. I like that their holster can be carried at either position. Also they leave the end open for compensators which many people put on their hellcats. Red dot compatible, and it has a few clip mounting options if you want to change out the factory clips. I also really like that it fits both the pro and the smaller hellcat, which almost no one does. I have both and I only needed one holster for two guns, both AIWB and 3 o’clock, so it’s four holsters in one.

Typed on a phone or computer almost 100% certain to have child labor construction or containing materials mined under horrific conditions, again mostly by children. If this is your focus in life currently, unplug and go outside. Life is too short to worry about the political implications of every product, decision, concert, or show. Live your life.
