FBI Agility Test

As soon as I got off work this morning I rushed to Memorial Park to watch Lizy and Albert take their FBI agility test.

I arrived within minutes of them starting the sit-up test. Lizy held her usual high number, while Albert did more than expected for TWO extra points.

Both candidates did phenomenal at the 300 meter sprint. Albert was in the 50-51 second range, while Lizy ran a personal best of 61 seconds!

Over the last couple months both applicants have made vast improvements to the number of push-ups they could perform. Unfortunately, small changes in the guidelines changed their typical cadence. They’ve both been performing push-ups with their hands on a soft surface (dirt/grass) and only went down until their upper and lower arm made a 90-degree angle at the elbow. The Testing Agent made them do the push-ups on asphalt and made them go all the way to the ground. Either way, Lizy and Albert were able to hammer out enough push-ups to stay in the test.

The 1.5 mile run was the final test and probably the most dreaded by the two applicants. They each knew what time they needed to run in order to move on to the next hiring process. The run went as planned with the exception of a local Personal Trainer clogging up the track, forcing the runners to go around them. Albert ran a safe and consistent 1.5 miles with nearly identical splits. Lizy ran a solid first lap, and then found a rhythm for several laps, before pushing hard to the end.

I am extremely proud of both these athletes. They did all the work, but I'm glad I was a part of their training.

And yes, they both PASSED!!!!

Both Lizy and Albert have worked extremely hard for this day and they deserve the future success.

Well done you two!

FYI: These are my estimated times and numbers. I stood back while the test took place. The recruiter may have faster or slower times than I recorded. This was merely my recordings.
