LOL, OK

I was laughing at them, because it is *so* unlike me to be doing this kind of thing

Still, it's got to be done


<Goes off to run round the block>

 

I'm sure you will p1ss it.

Sherlock

 

Hey, I'm no fat blob, so I'm sure I'll be OK Judging by some of the responses on here today anyway, I am particularly hopeful

 

Glad to hear it, and i never said you were

 

 

to be able to cover the bleep test..

you need a fitness level of or at least equivilant to running 1.5 miles in 11 minutes..

bib call it a day after approx 8 mins of bleeps..

cant work out why for a prison?? 1.5 mile corridors??

M

 

Responding to an alarm bell at one end of the prison when you are at the other end can be quite a run especially at full sprint( you cant jog to these things)...My prison covers a massive area, not sure of the exact measurements, but needless to say it hold over 1000 inmates so its large.
Its not 1.5 miles from one end to the other but you certainly feel like youve run it when you get there, and youve got to be fit enough to restrain a couple of fighting punters when you get to the other end aswell. So all in all the fitness test levels are low but are required to some extent

Gav.

 

A two-stretch (alledgedly...)

 

Gav1, tell us about the time you had to restrain a cat 'A' prisoner.....

Oh go on.

I never get bored of that one.

Or the time you had to don full battle dress with 5 of your mates because Big Bernie wouldnt go for a pooh.

 

And you must get so much job satisaction standing on your boring production line doing the same menial task day in and day out!!

Gav.

 

Who said anything about job satisfaction ?

 

I'm looking into joining the RAF Police.

What sort of eyesight requirements are there?
I wear contact lenses and I'm at 6/12, but is there an unaided eyesight requirement level?

Is it the same for the MOD Police?

 

You people who want to join the RAF Police, you do realise that the promotion prospects are truly awful, don't you.........

 

Yes, but I'm not going to let that stop me from doing what I want to do!

 

Well it's better than working in a fecking warehouse doing f**k all!!!

 

Nobody actually, but then who said ALL prison officers constantly tell stories of restraining cat A prisoners and sit with their feet up on a desk for 5 hours every day.
To be honest you sound a little envious of my job. You didnt fail the entry tests to become a prison officer at some point did you Yoza?? Theyre not particularly hard but somebody with your IQ might struggle.

Gav.

 

Alright then Gav, I'm genuinely interested to hear about the job.

 

PMSL @ my genuine thread

Envious.......not me.

There is one part of the entry criteria that would rule me out of the job.

Nothing to do with interlect though.

By the way, I dont work on the production line.

The dustcaps are put on in a "sub assembly" area, quite far away from the hustle and bustle of the production line.

 

Yoza, given the queues I've seen for post-production trim fixing, your production line doesn't do much at all

 

OMG.

Thats top secret.

Go and wash your mouth out with soap.

How do you know, come on spill the beans.

 

@ You guys

 

Anyway.

 

What's up Yoza?

 

Nowt.....

Hows your bleep test training going.

Are you up to 10 dough-nuts yet ?

PS. If you need any 'hands on' when it comes to frisking, Im you man, free lessons too.

 

LOL

Training isn't going too badly thanks

I'm not overly keen on doughnuts either, so I'm lacking on performance in that dept

I shall bear the 'frisking' lessons in mind

 

Bleep test eh I'd forgotten about that.

I never discovered what level it went up to , but last time I did it, I got to 14-4. Was rowing internationally (is that a word?) at the time mind you....

If I remember rightly, the first lever was a gentle stroll, then it starts to pick up a bit. Level 5'd be no problem

 

Hopefully I'll breeze it then
