You would imagine with all the latest technology it could be done fairly quickly, but none of this process is quick.

Debating getting a PT once this bootcamps finished alongside the next one but not sure it would benefit me anymore than bootcamp and trying to work on my running with couch to 5k. Suppose its all going to help eh... will pay off in some way whether it be general fitness or the PCA specifically

Mind you if im lucky enuf to get through the rest if the process i may get used to many early mornings and late finishes. What was your pass grade. Mine was a high B.

Definitely wouldnt call it going head on lol I literally did no exercise barely at all minus hiking, runnin after my child or walking the dog lol so this has hit me like a tonne of bricks lol but needed something drastic to get me going. The first attempt at couch to 5k a few months ago ended very quickly but I think my AC pass might motivate me to stick at it more this time round. Thinking it will be a long time coming before I get to next stages and definitely until my call if I ever get one so will have plenty of time to practice lol

Im far from athletic / sporty lol but getting into the way of gym work has been fun! My current job involved alot of sitting around so i look forward to getting going in the evenings. You will find that all the gym and training will help in the long run. BMI was a factor in the Medical that came up for me. I was able to appeal but still delayed things. I think GV has a set time for gym etc. It will be good to have a bit of a head start tho. Well done on the training so far!! It will be worth it

I was then invited to an informal interview in Police HQ and due to a minor conviction in 2009 i was excluded from the process. Its a long drawn out process... its so exhausting lol

High B score at AC, and waiting in panic through the rest of this process. Getting a bit ahead of myself, but does anyone know what the deal is, as in if you get to GV, following the 23 weeks do you then have to wait unknowingly for however long for appointment?
