I PASSED!!!!
Hi everyone! Just wanted to send a quick note to let everyone know that I passed the two tests I had to take today. I'm on my way to bed because I only had 4 hours of sleep last night and then had to drive almost 2 hours home.
The physical test wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, but it about kicked my butt. The worst part was dragging the dummy. They said in the brochure that we'd be dragging it across grass. Yeah, right! Try dragging it in sand 6 inches deep! I almost gave up, more than once, but I perservered.
Made it in just under 6 minutes. Only had 6 minutes and 4 seconds. If not for that dang dummy, I'd probably have finished in 4 minutes or less. I really struggled with it.
One poor guy (real young) took off at a dead run at the beginning of the test. Everyone kept telling him to pace himself. Well, when he finished the obstacle course and had to complete the run again he was just about walking. And then he threw up . The troopers were telling us that that happens sometimes, but please, try to in the grass instead of where everyone has to run.
All in all I don't feel too bad about my time. I was only a minute behind some really in-shape men.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers,
Gisela
I'm not a bit surprised! I knew you would ace it!
That's terrific! Woohoo! Good for you! You're going to be driving that troopers car before you know it!
Love,
Joni who hopes if she is flying through Florida going too fast, that Gisela is the one who pulls her over....or some really hot trooper guy who is very forgiving....
