did you physically prepare for the pat, is there anything else I can do to prepare for the other parts or is it just all documenting and stuff like what can I do to be prepared for everything and get everything in on time etc

I went to the gym, most stairmasters have the pat test programmed into them. Grab 2 20lb barbells and try carrying them. It will give you a good idea where you are. If you know you need to loose weight start now. The fire dept only gives you 30 days after your medical to get to the weight they want. It is all based on the BMI scale. When you go to the pat and you get your intake paperwork do that ASAP. Just incase you have any problems filling it out or getting the documents. That is all a while for you though. Just stay in shape. I workout regularly so it wasn't as intimidating. Practicing though on the stairmaster really made me less anxious about the actual test.

Wow, it moves that fast?
 
It also depends on how many defer the process or accept employment elsewhere. A lot of factors have to coincide.

Basic stuff, birth certificate, SS Card, diploma. Best to wait till you get the packet. You will get the packet at your pat. You will get a letter in the mail telling you when your meeting is. Don't wait till you get the letter to start getting your stuff together.

I would think it might be but would need to ask investigations.
 
You may be able to contact your High school and see what they can do to assist you.
