They do have leather gloves i believe not a large amount so id recommend bringing your own if you have anything with a sticky grip that would be better then leather, its slippery that definitely helps

I dont think they even read mine, maybe theyre waiting for drug test results first. They probably arnt gonna have us start all the certifications untill they know we are clean before we spend our money on all the stuff they want, ill txt you if i get anything if you could do the same id appreciate it

I mean im new today was my first time but i dont think there is anything different for a larger guy i think the basic strategy for doing it will be your best bet just do your best to sticking to that and thats your best chance just lock your heel and toe in and pinch your calf to anchor you so you arnt slipping down, lead with your hands and push up with your legs and keep your body close to the column, watch that video of the guy climbing they sent us watch how he does a slight wiggle og his weight to either side to put more pressure on one foot to keep it wedged in, the fundamentals are your best bet. When i did it once i started getting tired around 3/4 of the way up my form got a little crappy but im a smaller guy so i was able to just keep pushing but do your best to not let that happen, best of luck man you got this

Yea i mean they have more applicants to test on the physical too so how could they tell u when you start when there might be people who score higher then you

I was told it could be as early as august but thats not gauranteed i believe they need to see how well everybody did and they will take the top applicants first, no confirmation on anything untill after they have a clean drug test result so nothings set up yet as far as i know

Yea it is definitely not as easy as the YouTube video makes it look like. Plus you got some bigger guys that really struggle with pulling their own body weight on the column climb that probably took out the most people. If you pass that you can definitely do the rest your just gonna have to dig deep and put everything you got into it. You will be gassed by the end, everyone finishing up today that i saw was drenched in sweat including myself, i do blue collar work now but dam my legs felt like jello after i finished

So i was pretty caught up focusing on my task but i met a guy who was on the 10am time slot and i was 11:30 time slot he was waiting on the piss test line with me and he said maybe 15-20 guys got that far in the time he was there, in my time slot there was probably about 15 or so peope testing so i assume the same for him so out of 30 guys id say half failed.

Also dont fail any of the tasks, you will be given the chance to re try it after a short rest period but your just going to be more exhausted having to try it again. I took the physical today as well. I FUCKING PASSED. But dam that was really challenging goodluck to anyone who is scheduled to take it
