I'd like to start this post off with a declaration that I'm not withdrawing from fights.
With that being said, I'm going to ask for the support / patience of the CAGFC league. I've been waiting patiently for a response from U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the position of Border Patrol Agent since taking my initial test 4 months ago. Today I received my Tentative Letter of Selection. What this means is I'm now moving onto the next stage of testing. I'm eager, yet apprehensive.
It's a big step towards getting a job that I dream of. However, when I say I'm apprehensive, I mean I still don't feel ready for part of the physical exam. Specifically, the step test. So, I'm going to be exhausted for a long time as I will be doing nothing but testing for the step test repeatedly each day on top of my normal job. I will still be scheduling for my fights and doing my best to accommodate, but if you see me on and I'm not responding, chances are, it's because I'm just using the 360 for music or cadence while I step my ass off.
For those curious, this is what I have to do for the physical fitness test:
1) Pushups - 20 in under a minute, going to 4 inches off the ground (CAKE!)
2) Situps - 35 in under a minute. (Also cake!)
3) Step test - Using a 14 inch aerobic step. Step up left foot, step up right foot, down left, down right. 120 steps per minute for 5 minutes straight.
Last one doesn't sound too difficult, untill you factor in that it's 2 steps a second, at 14 inches. At around 3:30, I want to die.
Long story short, if you wanted to skip the top story, if scheduled to fight me, please post here and/or PM me to setup the matches. If I'm on the 360, there's a good chance I'm not paying attention to anything but music.
