    Get your mind and body ready for it. It's going to be mentally and physically straining but, it's far from impossible. Especially if you've been through military boot camp.

    I would definitely start working out and running a lot. They had us run 3.2 miles the first day. Over half the class dropped out of the run.

    Well, if you are looking for assistance in getting into a department, it all really depends on what the other applicants "look" like v. what you bring to the table... neither of which can be changed (at least favorably) in a few months.

    If you are looking to START preparing physically for an academy that you hope to be in within a few months, you are setting yourself up for failure if you did not have the forethought to prepare a little earlier (without already being in good shape, that is).

    I have 2 suggestions for you:
    First, introduce yourself in the rap sheets section. Of course, I assuming you want to continue being a participating member here on the forums.

    Secondly, put a little more effort into your question if you would like any in response to it. You were neither clear on what you were asking, nor did you see fit enough to even use question mark for a question. Assuming you want genuinely accurate answers, start off with an accurate question, posed in more than a half-assed fragment of a thought (no offense, of course).

    After reading his first 4 posts it makes me wonder what the other prospects were like. ;)
