This takes me back to my coach in middle school teaching us discipline. His dad was once a state trooper so he used his dads ways to help us. This is exactly how we would look. I thank him everyday for making me a better person! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to be known as a Texas state trooper.
I honestly don't think that exercising is there top priority here. There testing to see who will follow orders without question, and how well you can perform under stress.
Caint wait for 100th trooper school!!! Great videos can you keep posting every so often? Maybe On vehicle training, investigation training, etc. would greatly appreciate it.
I'm sure this process has been critiqued and improved upon since its publish date, but what I've found useful in the extended rectangular formation (PT formation) is that when the exercise is called by the instructor, the formation members must repeat that call as to confirm that everyone knows the current calisthenic. On the last count during the calisthenic exercise, a heightened call falling on the second number ("One, two, three!" compared to "ONE, two, THREE!") should be recognized as the last count, in which the formation will collectively call out "Halt!" and remain in the position of attention. The presence of some fairly out of shape candidates tells me that this is more than likely the very first day of Trooper School, and this aforementioned technique will greater organize and improve the candidates' ability to perform in unison.
It was just as hard if not harder when I got out and joined. All the rigorous physical, they will try to break you. Add all the academic and studying, it gets stressful. I think it’s a little watered down as of late, soft cadets calling HR and complaining about being yelled at and “hazed”. 🙄
Don't they have a fitness requirement to get in? Some of those guys are fat. The Delaware SP use the POWER test, you have to run 1.5 miles in 13 minutes, do 40 situps a minute and 30 pushups a minute.
