Did you have to purchase all of the gear or was it provided? Also is this done after finishing the academy?

Thank you in advance.

The only thing that i bought was the black duffle bag. Only reason being that, they require certain dimensions and has to be black, no logos, no designs.

And this is all done before the academy. I start Monday 04/18 (orientation, first day).

You are all definietly making me feel better about the PAT. I am going to head to the gym and keep using the stair climb until the date.

Do they check your heart rate? Or just that you can do the 3 minutes without falling and grabbing the sides?

They don't do your baseline vitals. You go in for drug screening and PAT. Don't limit yourself to just a stairmaster. Mix it up a bit and prepare for your medical as well. Sooner or later your body will build an endurance for it and you will struggle with other things.
 
You wear one of the 5 pair of work pants they gave you to the academy and everything else. The other pants are for the class A uniforms, which you won't need until the last week of the academy.

I took a picture of the manequin in the back room when I went in because that's the uniform you wear day 1 and throughout the academy. You should have gotten a letter telling you what to wear.

Yeah I saw the letter. It said dark blue. But the pants looked black to me so I had to ask. But thanks. See you Monday

Ahh I'm jealous! I'm 1XX, hope I get mine soon. I wonder if your investigation was quicker cause I think you said you went through the process before right ?
 
This has got to be the longest thread ever.

3 years ago but I dont think that has anything to do with it, the investigations take a really long time and I doubt theyre done before you go to your medical

Not unless you are coming to a medic cpap in service. Next week is my last week at the academy. I'm sure I'll see you guys on Tuesday waiting outside, probably getting yelled at for someone being late, wrong a uniform. Someone is bound to screw up in a group of 90.

Oh yea true. I was thinking that you don't get your medical and psych dates unless you make it through the investigation portion. But yea that wouldn't make sense.

Do you know if they send those letters out in order by your list number?

I don't believe they do. They TRY to keep it in sequence however you may get paired with someone who is a list number 100 above or below you.

Yet again don't quote me on this I'm not 100% certain how the city works
