If you have been removed from a list (aka declined consideration but eligible) can you request restoration as long as the list isn't expired, or once they finish the list (6003) and move on to the 7000's are you no long able to restore? Thanks!

Ha thanks, yeah gained some muscle..and fat over this year, but plan to do a ~6 week running program like I did before boot camp to be ready for academy and cut some weight...so you didn't have to bring them any follow on paperwork?

Got my lab results back, as suspected high cholesterol, or as labeled 'MILD ABNORMALITY'...the packet only says on the doctor eval sheet 'follow up with your personal doctor regarding cholesterol levels'...and another page says that this packet doesn't indicate qualification or...

In regards to medical...slightly worried about my cholesterol, it was borderline a few years ago and never had it retested....what happens if it's over, auto DQ or allowed to come back in X months?

Anyone have experience with getting a 'proposal of disqualification'. Got one for 'failing to report to medical', but I never received a medical letter so I followed the instructions to email requesting reconsideration. Do they give you the benefit of the doubt on these things or are they one...

Anyone in the 5xx's on 6003 waiting on a medical letter? I took the psych on July 30th, but no med letter yet.

No news = good news with psych? I was seeing cross-eyed by the end of it

-I've always recommended a programing like starting strength/ strong lifts for beginners and then texas method / 5/3/1 for intermediates when it comes to lifting. If you're not familiar you should google and check them out. Dips I do 2x week, one time with weight and the other just Body weight...

Depends. What kind of training are you doing with weights currently?

Hey so I'm 5xx, and they told us OCT too, but from following these threads, it looks like we're up to the 14xx for JULY. So figure they're doing 180 then October sounds pretty unlikely, and then correct me if I'm wrong, but a Jan and Apr academy next year is what you'll want to keep your ears...

The last I recall seeing post here was in the 12xx. But someone made a post claiming that a phone line said 'last appointed 14xx'. Not sure how good that gouge is.

I worked for the government for 8 years...don't ever try to make sense of what they do

I'll be there...same as you, no medical letter yet.

Just curious for those of us waiting for the long haul: Does a class of 180 mean both AM and PM - so they're filling 360 spots - or 180 total?

I'm a similar list number to you and haven't got anything further; investigator told me at intake to look out for medical letter by early July, so I wouldn't panic, I imagine they're focusing on filling the next class.
