I passed my entrance exam today. After 3 LONG years of ridiculous work, working on overdrive in 9th freakin gear, I finally passed the physical test. I begin the academy on April 9th.
It's kinda weird now though. For 3 years my life has been dedicated to my wife, my daughter and working out to make it into the academy and I've finally made it. Talk about a weight off the shoulders. So many of your have been very encouraging and I wanted to say thank you (you know who you are). There were many times where I was ready to throw in the towel, where I felt it just wasn't worth the stress and strain I was putting on myself and my wife and my daughter. I received so many pm's and comments from so many here to give me the extra boost when I was down about certain things and for those people, I can't thank you enough. To see this all come into fruition is odd and exciting. I'm anxious for the academy to begin but feel that I can handle whatever they have to throw at me. With the effort for the last 3 years and the loss of over 180 lbs (183 as of this morning), I don't that there is anything that they can throw at me that I can't handle.
Can you believe that I even lapped someone on the run? :D
Thank you all again for your ongoing support.

Congrats my friend. You've earned it.

Congratulations!
