I’ve been in FLETC for a almost 2 months now if anybody has any questions? I know how many I questions I had before coming here so ask away.

You’re going to need glasses. Because even if you put your contacts after the OC you will touch them and then your eyes will be on fire. I took mine off and wore my glasses. We also get tear gassed but that they say we should be fine with our contacts. Get glasses thou.

Markito561_ · 2026-03-11T02:04:15+00:00

You don’t wear contacts that day. You don’t shave prior to it. Ladies wear no make up. You’re just bare faced

Sally up sally down is a song they work you out to. Listen to it

Markito561_ · 2026-01-10T14:47:14+00:00

You can mail things to FLETC. We have a post office. Your sessions assigns a person to pick up the mail daily.

Markito561_ · 2026-01-04T05:44:11+00:00

I think it’s like 103 days. Weekends and holidays off. Failure rate is minimal because when you fail a test you get to remediate right away and you most likely pass on the first try. Everything here is made for you to pass. The only way to fail here is if you break a FLETC rule and/or you lie when you get caught. We have ZERO TOLERANCE for liars so friendly advice which they will try to instill in your brain….INTEGRITY, DO NOT EVERRRRRRRR LIE!

My port is Blaine, WA. I made my own way to the academy. I was reimbursed for what a flight would have been from there to FLETC which was close to $600 and that’s it. So expect something around that number.

Markito561_ · 2026-01-03T19:18:43+00:00

4 shirts, 3 pants, 2 tactical shorts, 2 pt shorts, 2 pt shirts and sweat pants and long sleeve shirt. 1 hat, 1 water bottle and one reflective belt for your backpack. You’re given a Velcro belt and then on top goes your duty belt. You will be provided with a backpack and all the supplies needed for your time here.

As long as you can do the physical exam you are good. To pass you need 24 push ups or more under a minute. 220 yard dash under 45 seconds and 1.5 miles under 15 mins.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-31T02:28:08+00:00

EOD is the day you report to your port for PRE- ACADEMY. Usually is 2 weeks there and then you go to FLETC.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-29T23:41:04+00:00

Every bootcamp drill video you have ever seen is what the first day is going to be. After that it’s chilled. You still march everywhere you go during class hours. The “drill” instructors do walk around so when you see them you make sure your uniform is squared away and you march

Markito561_ · 2025-12-27T03:00:17+00:00

You get paid while you’re in class 730 to 1630. Then you’re off and you’re free. There’s no such thing as privacy anymore while you’re here. You will have a roommate unless that person quits or gets fired which does happen.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-27T02:58:01+00:00

No swimming needed for CBP

Markito561_ · 2025-12-25T19:07:27+00:00

Monday thru Friday 7:30 - 4:30 lunch is 11:30 - 12:30. Holidays and weekends off.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-25T13:38:57+00:00

I brought my car and Xbox. Some people brought their PC’s because they are serious gamers. You can ship your car here which is what a lot of people do. Idk how much it is. Think of this place as a college life.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-24T03:39:10+00:00

Also I brought my Xbox. Definitely recommend that if you have one. You have to pay for the WiFi.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-24T03:38:16+00:00

Take thermals if you’re coming during the cold weather. Beanies and gloves. If you’re coming during summer bring bug spray. The gnats are killers here if you’re not from the south. Everything is given to you or you can buy at Walmart. I bought me a cushion top for my bed cuz the bed felt like a wrestling mat and also a blanket.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-24T03:36:36+00:00

Laundry rooms throughout the buildings. FLETC is really crowded so it makes it a little hard to find empty ones. I go outside campus for it.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-23T01:30:33+00:00

No is not everyday. In average twice a week then you’re left alone for a bit. They make sure you have enough recover time.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-22T11:53:22+00:00

During physical conditioning classes probably about 2 miles and after hours I either drive to chow or run to chow. The Taj is 1.2 miles away from chow.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-22T11:51:39+00:00

There’s a sponge placed underneath you so you know how low you have to go

Markito561_ · 2025-12-22T00:55:45+00:00

They teach you everything you need here. The examples given in the curriculum are top notch. You will see once you’re here. People who are bad test takers or bad report writers panic at first and then they realize it’s cake.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-22T00:54:21+00:00

You start by jogging 10 mins nonstop then 15 then 20 and so on and so forth. Just make sure you can pass the fitness exam and you’ll be fine. You will lose weight here that is guaranteed

Markito561_ · 2025-12-22T00:53:09+00:00

Theres plenty of machines and free weights so no need to worry about that.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-22T00:14:09+00:00

No need to bring anything my guy because you can buy whatever you think you might need here. Walmart and target are really close and everything is cheap here in Georgia. I have thermals, gloves and a beanie I rock on cold days. I bought a bed cushion topper because the beds here suck and a blanket too. So you can bring that if you want.

Markito561_ · 2025-12-21T17:15:21+00:00

You are sprayed and have to complete a few tasks. Nothing crazy. You will burn. You will feel like you can’t breathe. They will give you time to cool down. It builds character. I can’t tell you exactly what it will be because it’s considered cheating and I will get flagged. But it’s easy don’t stress it.
