The whole process for getting on RISP was incredible. Fitness Test was something out of Paris Island (Troopers yelling in your face while doing sit-ups, running beside you yelling while you're doing the 1.5 mile run). I guess the point I'm getting across is that this PD is NOT a fallback. At the point I took the Fitness Test I had taken 5-6 fitness tests for various departments through- out NE and by far that was the most demanding and, as I thought afterward, the most rewarding....I thought THIS IS THE PD I WANT TO WORK FOR. If you want the RISP you're going to have to really WANT IT. Just my 2 cents |

Hell just to take the test, you must show up in a business suit or out the door you go...Watched may of knucle heads getting sreamed at by the Troopers When I did the test back in the early 90's | Originally Posted by USMCMP5811 Hell just to take the test, you must show up in a business suit or out the door you go...Watched may of knucle heads getting sreamed at by the Troopers When I did the test back in the early 90's |

I finished up this past term and did not have to take Research Methods due to my enrollment year (thank god for grandfathering) but my buddy did. He said that he is REALLY TOUGH as a professor but a nice guy. He also said that Mr. Gallo was fair to deal with. That I think is the best combo for any professor. He should go far at WNEC. |
