While at the Academy, doing the obstacle courses, this week...

When I was hoping to get into my R.T.T. Class, I was notified, by GHQ, on a Tuesday afternoon around noon time. They gave me an hour to get to Framingham to pick up some paperwork and the list of items I would need. I was to report to the SPA for 8 am the next day (less than a 24 hour notice). I went to Framingham, got all the paperwork, went to my current employer, at that time, and turned in my resignation. I then went to the bank, withdrew about $1000.00 and headed to the mall to get all my required gear. I was at the mall from 5pm til 9pm when it closed. Went back home, got all my gear put together and put all appropriate markings on them, and was in bed for 1am. Layed in bed, wide awake for 4 hours, got up at 5am and started my trek to New Braintree. :shock: So yes, there are some people that will get less than a 24 hour notice. Its a serious gut check because it is hard to prepare with less than a 24 hour notice, but I, and others, have proven that it CAN be done!!!!! :twisted:Rock";p="61396 said:So you got the weekend to get your s*** together? Wow. How do they get you your equipment with no real notice....PT stuff, uniforms, etc.?
Just wondering…What was the course like? What kind of obstacles did they put in front of you? IE monkey bars, walls. I imagine there was no practice since bad guys don't let you practice chasing them before the real thing.mkpnt";p="61496 said:While at the Academy, doing the obstacle courses, this week...
