Cooper Test with the SO

August 21st, 2008

I went to work in the jail today and the plan was to run the Cooper Test with the SWAT team. It is a chance for me to see where I am at. I got to the jail and the captain asked if I would be willing to come in on Friday as they are going to be slammed with only two people on. At first I said I couldn’t then I was able to juggle some stuff around and I said I would do it.

I did my normal jail stuff until around four. Then I went downstairs to meet up with the SWAT guys. I brought stuff to run in, but I didn’t have shoes so I had to run in my boots. That sucked. We did the run. I missed it by about 15 seconds again. That really sucked. I had a good pace for the first half of it, but when we hit the turn for the second half I started to lose my pace.

I did the sit ups and push ups really well and passed those tests. The guys said I did a good job and they know I can pass the test. Other than some of the people at the SO and jail as well as Misty at WSUPD I haven’t told anyone that I am trying to do this.

I haven’t had the police bone in my body for a while, but I think it is back. I want to become a reserve if I am able to swing it with my Pullman Fire schedule. If I didn’t have the temporary job I would be good to go, but this could be troublesome getting the time off that is necessary. I was mad that I wasn’t able to pass the test because now I will have to run it again, and I need to make sure I pass it. I am going to have to figure out a way to have water with me so I can get rid of the cotton mouth that I get as I am nearing the end. That is one of the big things that is killing me at the end.
