I have alot of work to do thats for sure, lots of conditioning... ive taken the physical exams 3 seperate times going on 4 and so far have only passed it once. On the education side i missed the written exam by 2 points but the fact that im a determined individual might help me out. Hopefully in the not so distant future I can be part of the police force but till that time comes all I can do is prepare phyically and mentally.
