And I assumed that with my medical condition I wouldn’t be able to pass the physical requirements of the FLETC. Can you expand on some of the current physical requirements?
The PT isn’t difficult by any measure. Having said that, most injuries occur during grappling or training sessions. Grappling is usually done at 20-50 percent effort depending on the student. I saw several people sent home for injuries from arrest technique training.
