Today I went to orientation for the CPAT. It is the physical test you must pass to be considered for a position as firefighter. It was fun! Being a firefighter is my new dream job. All of the proctors that helped my group through each test were impressed with my rythym and pace. I asked the questions that i needed answered and answered any question the proctors asked my group. One thing i did notice that some of the member of my group started following my lead. i made sure i told each proctor thank you when we went off to the next station, by station 8 everyone was saying it! The last proctor told us that at the academy they can smeel out who is going to make it and who wont. I felt good because he gave me a compliment on how well I performed on the test.
It was just practice though. I take the test on the 9th of this month. The only test that I could see myself having problems with is the the ladder pull. I have to make sure I take my time and dont let the rope slip. Other than that I am golden. I am shooting for the top. i want to be a batallion leader in 8 years.
