Because there's one thing that I did, I almost failed it because of this one thing. And it is the easiest thing not to do. And I want to share it with you. It's the simplest thing ever. And I'm going to. I'm going to tell you exactly what not to do when you go to the paratest. Per test. You're probably wondering, why don't you just talk about the paratest?

Just tell me the tip right away, so I don't have to listen to you for the next 10, 15 minutes. I have to tell you the story. If I tell you what the tip is right away, you're just going to shut off and go, oh, yeah, that's easy. No, you have to hear the story. The story is important. So you're an RCMP applicant. You've got to do a bunch of things, right?

When I was an RC&P applicant, I had to go to the college, and I had to prove that I could type 18 words per minute. Yeah, that's what I did. And got a certificate, all for my application. And so I started getting my application package together. one of those things that I needed to do was take the pair test, the obstacle course in an animal. I was deathly afraid of the paratest, deathly afraid of it.

I researched everything I could about the pair test. Per test, you know, it's basically an obstacle course where you run around this course. You go up some stairs and down some stairs. You've got to do this course six times. You jump over things. you jump over a mat, a five-foot mat, okay? I'm dreading it. My dad's excited.

Me and my dad, we drive down. We drive about an hour to go to this course one morning. And we get there, and I'm like, wow, there's the pair test. It was like a big moment. It was a big deal. And I want to practice a little bit before I start doing it. And the instructor's there. And I go up to the push-pull.

There's a push pull. Can't remember. 70, 80 pounds or something. And you push it in. And you have to do six arcs. And you just walk. Walk with it while you push it in. Then after that, you pull this rope.

You pull the weight. And you walk with it with an arc. I go up to the machine. And I go to push it in. I can't push it in. It doesn't move an inch. And I'm like, holy shit. What is going on here?

Like, I'm not that weak. I could it doesn't matter how strong I am but I'm not that week am I and as I'm trying to push it in my dad tells me this later the instructor says to him you know he's he can take it next month

you know if he fails it today he can take it next month and he can take it again it was kind of a somber moment for my dad like there's no way in hell I'm going to pass it okay so I start I start the pair test I do the six obstacle things.

I look at this push pole and I go at it with an extreme amount of force. Everything in me. And I hit that push and I'm pushing it in. It's all the way in and I start doing my arcs. And my feet are going like this. Okay? They're slipping. It was like I'm doing the moonwalk while I'm doing it.

But I'm determined. And then I pull the rope, the weight and I do the six arcs. do a front words moonwalk no shit and uh i pass it i get under 445 it was one of the happiest moments of the application process that i ever went through and i wondered why did i have so much difficulty this is why don't do this do this but don't do this a year later

passes and I'm I fly into Regina I'm going to depot and it's it's on a Saturday and I do a little tour of depot somebody gives me a tour and we go to the gym

gymnasium there's the paratest I haven't seen the paratest in a year year and I'm still like afraid and I don't know why I suck so bad at it last time and there's the push pole so I go up to the push pole I push it in it's nothing it is it's a feather it is so light to me and I realized it's my shoes I could have I could have pushed it in with one head my shoes were planted they weren't moving there was no moonwalk It was my shoes. My shoes were too slippery.

Years later, like seven or eight years later, I went to the pair tests and I seen some applicants doing the pair test and I seen this girl. Same thing. She was practicing before she started her test. She went to pushing the weight and her feet kept on going like that. I knew she was going to fail. Number one tip. Shoes.

What kind of shoes? Let's say volleyball shoes. Get a pair of volleyball shoes. Let's say you go to the pair of volleyball shoes. pair test and you have that problem you push in the push pole and the shoes that you have you're slipping take off your shoes and take off your socks and do the pair test you're better off or take off your socks put your shoes back on when you do the six laps kick off your shoes so you have sticky feet on the gym floor I wish somebody would have told me that shoes there's nothing

simpler. And when you do the push, when you do the push, don't stand up and push it. Lean. Lean as much as you can. Like a 45, lean that much. Don't stand up and push it. Lean that much. Go on your, tipy toes. Easy. It's easy. I don't even know if you have to work out for it, really. Just wear good shoes. You'll do fine. And don't go crazy. And don't smoke.
