I imagined that the time limit for situps and pushups would be the same, but ray’s post threw me off a little…

4.5/min miles, why aren’t you in the olympics?

As far as I know, there is no time limit on the pushups, they just need to be consecutive.

Situps is like 90seconds I think.

You also get 3minutes between each station, situps, pushups… then 1.5 mile run.

i found that even with the 2 minute maximum, the push/situp portion took a minute or less. so id be stuck in the rest position for the rest of the time. kind of sucked.

What does my size have anything to do with me being able to run that time? I wasn’t saying it to come off as intimidating. You always seem to be the first on here to get on my case about that and i’m not sure why.

im not doubting your run time, but being a small dude will make it tough, especially if they stick you down in the hill, they dont care much down there. look what happened to ferris down in hamilton hill, and hes not that small.

what?! so if you bang out the needed pushups in 40 seconds you still have to stay in the pushup position until the time limit is up? You can’t just get up when you are done?

ROFL

OC spray and the tazer both look really brutal.

Jason wont be DQd just because he is small, but I’m not saying I’m any expert on the hiring process, I’ve just been looking into for a long time and its incredibly compeitive, and you can DQd for a lot of things.

I don’t think I mentioned in this thread that I was taking the Albany Exam. I know what happened to Ferris and i’m not exactly sure what you heard or who you heard it from because your not friends with him but it wasn’t anything serious at all.

9:48min 1.5mile run is just about about an average of 6:30 per mile, not 4:30
