Well, I just graduated from college with a degree in criminal justice and sociology. My plan is to go into LE, even though I keep hearing to be a firefighter instead. Well tomorrow is my first physical/written test with a local PD. I can't even tell you guys how nervous I am. I just don't want to look like a fool and not be able to pass something. My friends who are in LE say that once I get there, my adrenaline will be pumpin so hard it'll be easy to pass all the physical stuff.
Here in IL, we have the P.O.W.E.R. test that is a standard throughout the state. I'll have to bench press 98% of my body weight so roughly 200lb bench press. From there, we go to the sit up test: 37 sit ups in 60 seconds. This is what makes me the most nervous...try it guys, its harder than you think. From there, it is the sit and reach test...16 inches. One inch past the end of your toes. and the final test is 1.5 mile run in under 13 minutes.
I leave home at 5 A.M. to get to the test site. Wish me luck guys, I'm freakin out over here:nervous:
