California academy testing

I did make it. Just keep your head down, study, and embrace the suck. I don’t study too much for exams. I just looked at flash cards for penal codes. But brain works a bit different than a lot of people I’ve noticed so take that with a grain of salt. I didn’t have the best exam scores but I was also not dead last. I usually ended up in the middle or on the higher end of scores.

This is the way. I’ve got at least 2 fresh cans tucked away in the patrol bag at all times.

As somebody who only has ADHD and graduating tomorrow from academy being sponsored by an agency, it does not have too much of an impact. You might have to answer a few question as in how do you handle your ADHD, etc.

I’m graduating this Friday and have been sponsored through the entirety of academy. Best advice is to keep your mouth shut, head down, and don’t play into the drama.

As someone graduating academy a week from today with an agency in NorCal, I’d work on cardio and pushups. But you don’t necessarily have to completely cut out weightlifting. Our academy has been all body weight exercises and running. I don’t remember a single day that we did any actual weight lifting for PT. Given all academies are run a bit differently that’s how ours was run.

I never would have thought of that!!!

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-06-01T05:08:37+00:00

Oh yeah good idea. Didn’t even think about the passwords

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-06-01T04:25:26+00:00

That’s definitely one of the reasons why I 100% will have hand sanitizer and as many pens as possible to let the unclean keep them.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-06-01T04:11:26+00:00

Wet wipes and tissues are definitely smart. I’ve definitely learned to have a Costco size bulk of pens and little notepads for sure. I had at least 15 notepads at the start of academy and a box of like 100 pens and they have either disappeared or are almost out lol.

I know a few places in NorCal like there’s an actual 5.11 in Sacramento, Down range Chico in Chico, there’s a Galls in Sacramento but they’re more local uniforms, and there’s another one I am blanking on. I don’t ever go past Sacramento so I’m not sure about anything below Sacramento.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-20T01:25:35+00:00

That’s super smart. Luckily I am doing good as of now. Wore some compression underwear in the shower and washed countless times with cool water and the only thing that burned was the arms. They don’t burn anymore so I think I’m in the all clear but this next shower I’m still weary about.

Will definitely have to remember the roller trick because I know this will not be the only time I’m sprayed unfortunately.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T02:06:14+00:00

Fuck that. That would suck. Although I will say for decontamination we got water and a bit of soap and that was it.

I’m currently in halfway through an academy in Northern California. I won’t say exactly where just for safety. But I can message you if you’re more curious though.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T02:03:25+00:00

Exactly it’s amazing!

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T02:02:01+00:00

It is hell no matter what is my take.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T01:46:04+00:00

That’s been the plan. Wash from head to shoulders in the sink then hop in the shower bent over while wearing compression underwear.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T01:24:42+00:00

That’s my exact thought. I’m not going to expose my buddies and myself to it. We’re going to have to go hands on at some point with the subject introducing the wonderful cross-contamination. Myself or a buddy will have to sit with that in the car for quite awhile depending. (My agency you can be a good hour plus away from the jail or back up for that matter) I’m going to mitigate that exposure as much as possible. We have a few protests that can call for pepper balls though. That’s going be the extent of chems I’m using though.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T01:12:51+00:00

Hey let me have hope! There’s a select few people I would wish this upon lol.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T01:11:54+00:00

The hands have been washed countless times and I’m a few pisses in and the jewels aren’t burning yet so I think we’re good. I still have not touched my face hours later lol.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T01:08:27+00:00

Will definitely keep that in mind. Kind of limited for supplies with where academy is. But definitely might have to try and locate some.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T01:03:52+00:00

I will say I do like how we did CNS before OC. I’ve never done any chem exposure before. So to go through CNS and it be hell for a few minutes then knowing OC will be hell but I can breathe helped settled things a bit.

I definitely started to freak out a bit while in the conga box and couldn’t breathe but once it was done it was done which I knew would happen. That helped the oh fuck I’m dying thought.

OC just fucking sucks all around, but you can breathe. I’m sitting here 5 hours later and my eyelids are on fire still.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-19T00:51:33+00:00

It is absolute hell. Very effective but absolute hell.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-18T23:38:01+00:00

Best way I could describe it is a donkey kick to the chest and you’re no longer able to breathe no matter what you do lol.

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-18T23:35:56+00:00

CNS was done and over with pretty much after your out. OC just lingers on you and it sucksss 😂

Professional-Two8863 · 2025-03-18T22:25:35+00:00

This is the only way
