Well guys,

I told y'all when I was gonna have my interview for the volunteer police which I passed, and now it's time for my fitness test, tomorrow!  Shocked

Let's see if going to the gym 2 nights a week since March has counter-balanced years of being sat on my arse playing UO  Cheesy

Wish me luck!

Fitness tests, heh.

In Strathclyde they never bothered us specials with that so long as our BMI was acceptable.  I had heard they did test our fitness so I was kind of worried when I turned up having spent a frantic 3 days training. 

I believe the fitness test is now (among other things) a 1.5 mile run in 12 minutes.  My cousin is due to attend it in a few days so I'll get more info then. 

Even our interview was less than I expected.  A home visit and that was it.

I'm toying with applying for the regulars but I still lack a drivers licence.  I might apply for the MoD police which doesnt require a drivers licence.  On the other hand the fitness is possibly higher, I think you need to be able to pass the Armed Force Officers fitenss which is a but more stringent (1.5 miles in 10.5 minutes).  Still undecided.  The one thing I'm dubious about a police carer is the mounds of paperwork (I work for the police as a civvie full time as well and deal with a lot of their admin) and the fact it 'changes' people.

Whahahah! You'll get 5.4 no problem fo'sho. You need to have seriously not moved for the last five years to not get 5.4! And if you've been hitting up the gym twice a week (assuming cardio as well as weights), ya should be fine Smiley

Group of 6; the other 5 looked much MUCH fitter than me and I thought "Bum, I'm gonna look a right pillock if I die on the bleep test infront of these five" (I had to wear the bib unstrapped; small sizes, I tell you!

Anyway, much to my surprise someone failed; no names or info given other than:
