So my first "class" of the academy starts Jan 10th.

It's a "get in shape" class. Nutrition and health class... to get me ready for my physical test in march. Can't wait.

It's going to be held in CCBC's dome every saturday 9 to 12. The teacher of the class is going to be SGT. Grimm... anyone know him? had class with him? Know what I can get ready to expect from the class?

It's gonna be fun!

I had considered kicking my ass into shape and doing this, but just not sure. Im pretty overweight as it is. I really dont eat junk food at all (ask people who know me) my metabolism's just jacked.

What are the requirements to pass one of these PT tests? Just thought it would be a cool goal to work towards.

how did you apply..and congrats on being accepted, what were the requirements to be accepted?

you need to pass a physical exam.... that happens march 1.

you also need to pass a psyciatric exam and a physical exam performed by doctors. then you need to pony up the 4 grand it takes to take the course. that's pretty much it.

the pt test is different for different age groups. I'm 30, so i need to run a mile and a half in 12 minutes, bench press 90% of my body weight once, do 26 sit ups in a minute, if you're younger, it's harder. i think if you're 21 to 29 the mile and a half run is 10 minutes or something like that.... THAT'S actually where i want to qualify at.... the 21 to 29 year old requirements... that would be awesome.

thanks for the congrats everyone.... hopefully i have what it takes to continue on in the course
