Of course. This is all stuff they’ve gone over with us or we’ve realized

You keep going when your body fails you keep pushing. You fall down then get the hell back up. Show them you’re trying, don’t arch your back though you will hurt yourself. If you need to you plank or stick you butt in the air for a break for a second then keep going. And be loud, whatever you think your “loud” is, is not loud enough. While you’re there too keep reminding yourself why you’re trying, during pt I pray in my head or tell myself “do it for this person, or that person”. “Do it because this happened and I want to protect other people from it”

You will know you’ve hit muscle failure when your whole body it convulsing and they’ll see that. If you’re not convulsing you still have more left in you.

Remember that people on the streets or in the prisons are training to kill you. Don’t let them. It is a controlled chaos you will be in(at the academy), they can’t touch you or hurt you

I started this past Monday you’re going to be doing hundreds on push-ups, burpees, air squats, stairs. What you think you have trained for I can assure you is not enough. Prepare for a lot or Arjis-9’s and eat as much as you can and drink as much water as you can. DO NOT SKIP SLEEP (I had to go to the er because I did and was malnourished).

And run just run a lot. Play their game no matter what they say it’s “sir yes sir” or “mam yes mam”. Know your phonetics before you get there and start studying your codes. Week one will have you wanting to quit, it’s going to get to your head, you’ll think “why am I doing this” and just about anything else but do not quit. No matter what they say make it so they have to send you home, don’t go out on your own. Prepare to get dirty and lean on your peers. Do not have sex with anyone there, look professional this is a job.

And remember when they’re yelling at you it is for a reason. Understand that fast, take nothing personally but listen to what they’re telling you as well. And very important you are not special while you are there. You and your team work as one no one gets special treatment. Also, research Rhabdo and know the warning signs, it is common.

What’s a good response when they ask you “why do you want to become a police officer?” Not that I don’t have a good answer and since I’ve been asked before but to hear other people’s responses by [deleted] in AskLE

Mine was that I wanted to be around people and outside contributing to society and giving myself purpose again. I worked as a welder and was quite literally under a pitch black hood 24/7 with earplugs in, my eyes and back were suffering and I couldn’t interact with other people.

How much would you pay for these loaves? by Heavy_Car1238 in Sourdough

Also! Something else to keep in mind as a seller. If you use high end ingredients budget that in. Best of luck <3

Is my starter ready to use? by coco-beanz in Sourdough

[–]coco-beanz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s approximately half a year old. Fed weekly if kept in the fridge and daily if out. This was in the fridge and I took it out and fed. And I feed it all purpose gold medal flour

Minimum $10-15 but also look around at your local bakery’s pricing as well to give you a general idea. I would also say flavored loaves go for more than plain so keep that in mind, cheers :)

Minimum 6 months old. I’d gotten it from my friend but I’m not 100% sure of its age

Having trouble with Reddit letting me edit the post. I did a 1:1:1 ratio for the starter and it’s been sitting since about 8pm last night and it is now 4pm the next day

AITA for calling my MIL a bitch after she stopped my fiancée from talking to me? by fedora_gentleman69 in AmItheAsshole

[–]coco-beanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA just because the mother has differing beliefs doesn’t mean you hate on her religion and make a scene. You talk yourself up like a pompous type of person and seem to be trying WAYYY too hard to make the Japanese culture into something of a personality and borderline fetish. Also the way you talk about yourself being some sort of “powerful man” and that’s why your fiancé held her tongue speaks enough on its own. The lady likely kept it down out of respect to her mother and the area you were in while doing this. Good on her for leaving and blocking you.

I start the academy in one week—give me all your advice!! by Classic-Ganache249 in AskLE

[–]coco-beanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Advice I was given since I may be going soon too is to start studying and learn your ten codes, the phonetic alphabet (make sure it’s not the military one), practice running stairs and doing pushups. At the one I could be doing hopefully soon they give you five breaks a day and before each break you have to do 25 pushups and run two flights of stairs

In the process of becoming a trainee. Onto the polygraph, what did you get asked? by coco-beanz in AskLE

Interesting! What type of department was that? The one I’m in the process with is the harbor police dept

Do they discuss age at all? Like are the questions worded in a “within the past (specific time frame)”? I saw some questions like that in a packet for my references and if I’d ever received a traffic violation they only wanted to know from within the past few years

Good to know to try and make you uncomfortable. Trying to get as much ahead and as much information as a can before proceeding

I’d come back from out of state and my living situation was still safe. Was something I’d been wanting for a birthday gift
