Start reading the rules and regulations book (if they gave it to you) familiarized yourself with all the signals. That would give you a head start on what's to come. First week you'll be in a school in Gravesend, and that's mostly orientation stuff. After that you will go to every yard in your division. Look up where the yards are for your division so you have an idea how to get there. Buy a kaka bag that you can hide the straps and a watch (no smart watches). Schedule after the first week is 7 am to 3 pm Sat and Sunday off mostly.  Good luck!

Thank you. i get the KaKa bag from amazon or a special website?

If you are already using a cpap machine they wont put you on medical hold. You need a letter from your dr.

Do you know if you find out if you pass medical that day ?

Doesn't automatically disqualify you, they'll put you on medical hold until you go to your doctor, your neck can't be a certain size and your bmi can't be too high either or they'll put you on hold for sleep apnea or if you answer the medical questions and based on the answers you give they'll question you.

How about high blood pressure, does that disqualify you?
