I have to take the CPAT test and was just wondering if anyone has ever done it and how it was.
Anyone ever take the CPAT test?

I gaurantee if you do it, you will come out needing one of the machines. It is the biggest money making scam there is in the medical world right now. I know about 15 people who have done this and evryone of them is now on the machine. I know of nobody who has done it that's been told they don't need it.
thanks for the input., but i do believe you are talking about the CPAP "continuous positive airway pressure"
The CPAT test i am refering to is the "Cadet Physical Aptitude Test" alot of firefighters and and police officers have to take it.
But back to The CPAP machines. they are not fun to have to have!

do your cardio,train and eat right and you should be fine.

my 100lb girlfriend did it.
Exactly how I feel.
I was considering this since my dr. was "pushing" it then I backed away. That is when they turned up the preasure more than a car salesman that thought he had you on the fence. That made me realize that this potentially is a b/s deal and is totally appears to be money driven.
Ya, the only part i am worried about is the stair climb. I have bad knees, so i havn't really worked my legs like i should have.
stair climb not bad. if nothing else, work on your cardio. Watching other people do it that is where they suffer. other than that if your pulling your sled out of getting stuck and such, no worries bout anything else.

You're absolutley right! Boy do I feel dumb now
Its all good.
Im going to probably take it this year to. I am also worried about the stair climbr.
well, they say practice by doing step ups 24 reps a minute with the 75lbs on. I have been having my 101LB wife jump on my back while i do the step ups. I can do over 100 (up,up,down,down being one rep)in about 3 min.
dude, no worries. but......you wife is 101?!.....joking man. my girl is 35 and the same weight and did that ****. like i said, just cardio. Look at the captins. you think they pass that every year? no. they say they will PT every day so they dont have to re-cert. if nothing else think bout this.....most stations have either gone to or are going to 2 days on, then 4 days off....you collect a few days her and there and thats a trip to revy! ( is revy still cool? living in AZ so not sure?)
I took the test last sunday. Passed it. I was all worried for nothing. It wasn't that bad, but i was a bit tired after. So I guess i will be moving to Bremerton next month.
