I go on May 6th for the PA, brother. Since you go first (hahahaha) let me know how it is. :D Seriously, good luck. I chose the last day to give me all that much more training time. At age 40 I am no young pup anymore! But try to let me know how you do and how the test was on here or e-mail me at mrougeot@optimum.net.

Well good luck to you too, sir. Sit ups, push ups, sit and reach, and a 300-meter sprint shouldnt be too bad. Im a competitive bodybuilder and still quite young, so these PA tests are fun ;) If im not mistaken I think I read one of your other posts where you say your active, and stay in the gym, and thats awesome ! Please man, 40 IS young ! I will deffinitely let you know how the PA goes, and update you on how the candidate list thins out, which it usually does after the PA rolls by...

Anywho, good luck and stay healthy !

Yeah, don't listen to me brother I just like to stress. I am former military and in pretty good shape. I would much rather do the 300 yard sprint than 1.5 mile run. As of last week I have all my times down. But please do let me know how the PA goes - just out of curiosity. :eek:

Excellent job, my friend! I am so sick of training - I just want to get it over with and move on to the interview. I spoke with a current CO last weekend who said the hiring standards are not all that hard and as long as you have no major issues in your past you should be in. Best of luck in the oral and keep in touch!

PASS! Sit and reach was a joke. Had to do 27 sit-ups and did 30, had to do 15 push-ups and did 39 (thanks to always being in trouble in the Navy and having to hit the deck!) and I ran the 300m in just 60 seconds - 17 seconds shy of my 77 second limit but not as fast as you. :( But not bad for an old man almost 20 years older! :D

Let's hope things go fine with the State budget issues and we go to work!
