Fit tests expire after 6 months.

I doubt, if you are working out regularly, that a week or 2 off going to make any significant difference in yoru fit score.... well, unless you were THAT close to failing before the little mini-hiatus.

People should take from this one good point, tough: Be ready at any time. Usually, you have a little more notice and it is rare that you will get only a day or 2, but it happens. A guy in my academy class was a last minute addition. He took the fit test on Thur, offered the job on Fri and started the acadmey on Mon. That is not the norm, though.

I agree SWITCH,

I had a friend test me yesterday and I passed without a problem, but kinda scary to get a short notice, but like you said,...... be ready!

Well last night after I finished my workout I decided to check out some of the other forums that are have people in the same boat as many of us. I came across one forum that had some possibly useful information. Seeing as Switch mentioned some "grumbling" about up coming academy dates. I thought the comments were interesting. So below is the information I got concerning the school dates for new Marshals. Don't know how true it is but if it is then good. We will see. In the mean time still training and waiting on a call for the FIT in region 7

[gman158]

Congrats! Did they tell you on the call where you would go and when the training would start for you?

Good Luck!!

[NY2CALI]

Gman158: Yes, they even asked which of the (2) locations that I applied to (interview, etc) that I wanted. So I took the district that i live in now and not the district that I had to travel to for FIT test.

Darcknight: Thanks a lot

[gman158]

Hello All,

I had my interview yesterday in Los Angeles. I felt like I did well and answered all the background questions honestly. However, I was not asked to take the written exam. Should I stop lying to myself and face the fact that more than likely I didn't pass the interview? Anybody else that tested in LA - how was your experience??

Thanks!

[Switchback]

If you did not do the written communication part, I am sorry to say that you are done.

Thank you for the response, Switch.
