My first week academy experience

[Camsnappersc]

Keep it up. Study, Study, Study!!!!!! I remember my firstweek of the Academy.
The Academy was the worst six months of my life that I love and would not trade for anything.

What Academy are you attending?

Good job.

Thanks for the info on the flutter; I can't recall if we did that since my academy was so long ago.

Congratulations on completing Week-1.

Stay focused until Graduation. As time goes on, many classes get distracted and get into trouble on and off-duty.

This career is a marathon, not a sprint.

Best of luck to you!

This thread is making me miss the academy, lol.

I might go slap my boots on and do some flutter kicks for some nostalgia...

Hope the OP has fun on gas house and OC day!

Seriously though, it is funny how after going through all of the PT, memorandums, reports, etc how you look back and think "wow! That was great!"

Lay on your back and lift you legs 6 inches off the ground. Then kick repeatedly in a scissor fashion. Repeat until RTO is tired.

Good job on the first week. Only 25 more to go.

Study hard and don't quit. You will make it.

That's why the ATAC6 boots are great for the academy. Black high tops that look like boots

We had to wear the Rocky boots. They were heavy to start with, then we went on a 2 mile run in full gear. Yuck this thread is making me remember way too much.

Same here with the Rocky Boots. The only thing positive I remember is that I had to have my dress uniform tailored twice because I lost so much weight. I look at my graduation picture and can't believe how thin I was.

Canvass Converse All-Star high tops were the high tech academy PT "boots" in my day son!
That would be 1974.
Carry on trainee.

26 weeks?! How'd you get out 6 early?

[NineteenElev3n]

Good luck, have fun, savor the experience, and don't fail any tests. Good job for making it through the first week!

[SByota]

Academy memories.....the best experience I never want to do again. Stay motivated and focused on the goal.

Keep at it, there is a point to everything. You will be glad for all the physical training once defensive tactics start, then its kindof like two-a-days. Heck I remember sometimes dt was more strenuous than pt. You will be glad for both when you find yourself in your first fight or footchase.

God job surviving the first week, you will be in the phase where they try to make you quit for several weeks, it is necessary but if you want it, you can make it. Just keep your head in the game and maintain a positive mindset.

When I went thru in 1976, it was 16 weeks. The only reason we did 17 was that Sheriff Pitchess was on vacation and he attended all of the graduations, so we had to do an extra week. After all, he was the boss.

I cranked out 32 weeks. 17 would have been heaven!
