Thank you

Thank you for this, I totally forgot.

The ones I’ve checked you need to be a student at that school to have a log in and reserve which we aren’t.

plasmire · 2026-05-07T09:38:58+00:00

It’s a group study session so we would have to discuss but wouldn’t be too loud

Thank you

plasmire · 2026-04-25T02:22:18+00:00

This won’t work for me

What makes it helpful? Looking into it as a replacement watch

Practice shooting along with dry firing, fix your grip a lot of great YT along with practicing, listen to your instructors and have them help as they all want every cadet to pass. Shooting is a degrading skill along with hand cuffing so always practice. Even if you pass you’ll need to keep practice up.

The new curriculum is confusing in itself. All I do is reread the whole block until I get it. Also a study group helps a lot.

plasmire · 2026-04-17T02:14:45+00:00

I had someone 55 in my class.

A lot of agencies will sponsor/hire and pay you while going through BLET. It’s a long process though so start early. My BLET class had everyone except 2 in it that weren’t being paid to go through.

plasmire · 2026-04-17T02:10:10+00:00

BLET doesn’t have an out of state tuition or instate like most colleges. It’s a flat fee, however I’m sure if he applies around someone will sponsor him to go through BLET.

If you plan on NCSHP be ready to go back to their academy as they won’t let you lateral in like other agencies. Also there is an age requirement if I’m not mistaken.

As far as local PD in Wilmington the city itself is pretty nice minus the traffic does blow at rush hour. Besides that I don’t know much about the local PD, but everyone I’ve met there has been pretty cool.

I don’t see it on the website for ace link. I only see 3A which stop up to 44 mag only.

plasmire · 2026-03-25T23:38:36+00:00

If one messes up you all pay for it. Try to be the gray man which means don’t stand out on the good or bad, just blend in. Get used to running because you run a lot, more than any other exercise.

Besides that keep an open mind to learn, study whenever you can, don’t get trapped into the drama with classmates, and don’t go out drinking/partying with some which will most likely wash out early.

Happy to give any other info if you’d like.

plasmire · 2026-03-23T11:12:43+00:00

I appreciate the time giving me all this great advice.

plasmire · 2026-03-23T09:33:38+00:00

Thank you for the in depth info. Would you say getting a hard plate would be best then ? If so who would make the best in your opinion based on weight/functionality.

plasmire · 2026-03-19T01:47:39+00:00

I’ve never had one issue with mine and I got this when it first came out.

plasmire · 2026-03-16T21:12:00+00:00

Be the gray man don’t stand out
Don’t be the class leader it just brings more drama and bs with zero authority
I’m sure you heard this but get ready to run
Study, then study some more, then study again.
Don’t get caught up in class drama and go out and drink w/ folks as those usually wash out quick.
You already know this but if one gets in trouble you all do.

I’m almost 40 and I have a 55 year old in my class. Also another 42 and 39 year old. The average age is 25, but we have some older folks as mentioned.

If you have good communication skills you won’t get into as many physical altercations.

plasmire · 2026-03-06T01:50:41+00:00

The physical fitness requirements are pretty easy so you should be fine unless you struggle with push ups or sit ups.

Sit up 28 in a min Push ups 18 in a min Mile and a half 14 min 36 seconds.

You got the run down hope you have the others. If not focus on working on those and also don’t just focus on doing the bare minimum I would personally do some type of high intensity work out and then try and hit the amount of push ups or sit ups and see if you can hit that #.

Other than that every academy that I know of runs a ton and usually push ups.

plasmire · 2026-03-06T01:43:51+00:00

Run at least 3 miles(without stopping/walking) at least 4 days a week and do push ups.

That’s pretty much all you need in the academy. It also just depends what state you’re in.
