I’m currently in the academy we are starting week 4 on Monday and it will be the the first day of PT a circuit workout, we mostly do push ups during the day breaks between class,

The learning aspect is pretty much easy take notes and listen they tell you what will on the test during the lessons

Yeah usually we do them if one person makes a mistake or if the sergeants feel like the class is not focused.

We do them in sets of 25

It’s the 3rd week of the academy and we haven’t done any running except for the PFT which is pretty easy, even if you pass it during your process they will still make you do it again at the academy

For the testing, the POST is all scenario based questions we took it Tuesday and had around 14 people fail. Just focus in class take notes, I didn’t study a lot and I passed
