Had to share my happiness with my BPO family!
« on: April 29, 2006, 10:12:10 pm »
Today Matt (Hghlndr) took the physical testing for the Tuscaloosa Police Department.  Now step one, the background check/integrity test were cake.  Steps 3 and 4, the lie detector test and psychological evaluation will be no problem either...but this darn step 2!  I think we were BOTH nervous about it!  It consisted of 25 military style sit-ups, 22 military style push-ups, 1.5 mile run in <15 minutes and a 90 second limit obstacle course (car pushing, window entry, fence jumping, dead weight pulling, etc).  I just got a call and he PASSED!!   Not bad for an old guy THAT DIDN'T TRAIN FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS!!  Yay Daddy, we are SO PROUD OF YOU!!

I just want to thank everyone here. It was hard, but I guess it is all mind over matter. I just have to keep in shape from now on. Today I feel like I'm falling apart. LOL
