Just wondering if anyone can give any info on the academy, as to what to expect or be prepared for. Thanks.
Lots of hostess cupcakes and coffee for breakfast. What? Too soon? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Expect some of the best training that is offered today. Bring thick skin and positive attitude. This is your ticket in. Don't fuck it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well its reopened after the whole hazing issues and stuff. Prepare to run run run, listen and pay attention to detail. And yes, hostess sponsors pre-run refresh ments.
Except for the kidnapping stuff and people actually ending up dead, that movie (Lords of Discipline) is a pretty realistic depiction of a southern military school.
I have a very good friend who graduated from The Citadel and he told me the movie was based on experiences of past graduates of the school.... He told me that it was brutal at times but very fair.
I graduated from a military high school in Virginia, and I would agree....tough, but fair. No one got a free pass.
Not having been in any military training I cant relate. But I say theres two options for a police academy or boot camp. Ill either be leaving with a certificate and handshake, or a bodybag.
I did ask that already, have not received any helpful info so thought there might be some people on here today who have gone thru it , you obviously have no useful input so stay quiet, thanks .
Oooohhhh, if only I could be the staff on your first day. See now, you really should have taken my advice. Nice way to garner support - tell members of a forum to "stay quiet". GMass was even persistent in telling you to pm for advice and possible gear. I think it may be time for you to just swivel off.
If you're looking someone to cradle you in their arms and stroke your head while telling you everything's going to be alright then I think you're in the wrong place.
You can expect that at least ONE member here is MBTA and you can expect that person to take an active interest in your first day there JJ. Have fun
That there is the next recruit who will be running to the Herald with horrific stories of Hostess Cupcakes and burnt coffee. I got to hand it to you JJ. Balls the size of watermelons. Common sense on the other hand, not so much. Back when I went through academy, there was no forum to ask inane questions. And yet people made it through just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
