It's mostly a mental game. You have to be in decent shape, but if you can play the mental game you'll do alright.

[jimmyboy8301]

thats cool, i'm sorry for the loss of their 2 officers. 2 officers from the honor guard at my jail went to their funeral.

so what is like? just all mental intimidation or what?

[jimmyboy8301]

thanks big guy i appreciate it.

they threaten to fire you a lot, they tell you one thing to do then yell at you for doing it. your up very very early and and don't go to sleep untill very late. you have to operate on minimul sleep. it's all just a mind ****. if your a strong person mentally you won't have a problem. you just have to realize it's all a big game and play along.

[nj85z28]

hmm...sounds tough.....i could probably deal except for not sleeping much. how long was it?

[jimmyboy8301]

13 weeks at academy and 2 weeks on the job training. during the OJT you go home and don't stay at academy.

[nj85z28]

wow t hats pretty long

[jimmyboy8301]

naa not at all, NJSP academy is 26 weeks and municipal academy is 23 or 24 weeks i think.
