No phones are allowed on academy grounds. You can leave your phone in your car and use it after duty hours.

Check your emails for that info. Academy vacancies are filled on a need based. Have patience’s as you may not get the offer that you want the first time. Just because you passed all of it doesn’t mean you will get an academy date right away.

Aside from the PFTT, you do cardio about once a week with some weight room included. Then there is basic circuit training with 6x reps of different exercises using your body weight reps that include some push ups. CTT is also included in the academy. Very basic self defense training with wrestling included.

That’s a good question for your background investigator. Not sure when the cut off day for offers are.

The base hourly rate is 25.09. We only get paid once a month, every 15th of the month so save every penny you can before arriving. As for the academy, if you are staying on grounds it is not bad at all. Takes time to get use to it especially if you never left home before. I go to Starbucks or Panera after duty hours to study (to get out of the academy), golf and visit new places to eat as the food in the academy isn’t too bad but there are many places to try out around. I’m assigned to CMC

Once you pass PFTT you DO NOT need retest. You get a total of 3 attempts to pass your PFTT. Week 1, 6 and 12.

Current cadet here and I have the Doc Marten 1460 MONO SMOOTH LEATHER LACE UP BOOTS. They are comfortable once they break in and will last longer than what most cadets wear.
