If I remember correctly we wore short sleeves at orientation, but long sleeves went into affect (according to ops guide) on oct 1st so could be different. We only wore our long sleeves as part of “modified” class a.

It’s def worth it to invest in an extra belt, tie, tie clip, cover, and watch. Dk about the cover but everything else was just a couple of dollars.

After every day take tie w/clip, id, and watch, put inside your cover and leave in the car.

Lastly pay attention and listen, don’t be the guy that ask the same question they just answered 2min before.

as per the beneficiary form, would anyone know what to place for the employee reference number

Leave it blank for now and ask when you go to turn it in what they want you to put there. You will get your reference number in the academy.

I'm guessing they're done calling for the October class:(

They could make calls up to the day before orientation, the class could already be full or they could be waiting to hear back from people they have called.

Negative it must’ve changed since you’ve been in the academy, it was a couple of times a week the first few weeks then you do it every day you do ops, and then a few others random days mixed in

PT includes but is not limited to running, push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, and a couple of different exercises w/ 10lb weights. Basically whatever they decide they want to make you do that day

And have your PT gear with you in your car or locker everyday since schedules can change last minute

What's are the requirements for running, push up, and sit ups?
Like how many do you have to be able to do?
