189 Arrive at Quantico

Jimmy stopped at a roadside restaurant, ordered pasta, a steak, and a cup of coffee, slowly killing time, driving for a long time really needs to rest, especially Jimmy, who has been a patrol officer, he knows too well the dangers of fatigue driving.

While Jimmy was eating, a family of three sat down at a table next to him, and the couple were still discussing where to go next, listening to the content of their chat, which should be taking advantage of the holiday to travel.

Jimmy listens to them complain while eating, and suddenly they mention the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Jimmy turned to look at them and said, "Excuse me, I just heard you say that Great Smoky Mountains National Park is boring right now? I'm just getting ready to go on vacation."

Man: "Oh, no, don't go now, it's a waste of time, it just snowed a few days ago, and now you can only watch the snow in the hotel, and you can't go to the mountains."

Jimmy: "Isn't there anything else to play in the Great Smoky Mountains?"

Man: "Basically, the Great Smoky Mountains were originally used for family leisure and to see the scenery, but now because the heavy snow has not been eliminated, it is very troublesome and dangerous to pass. Our family just ran for nothing, stayed for one night and then returned."

Jimmy: "Alright then, looks like I'm going to have to plan my route a little more. Thank you."

Man: "You're welcome."

Jimmy finished his lunch and didn't stay long, he went straight back to the car, he needed to look at the tourist map again, because there were only 3 or 4 days left, and there was no time to go to distant places.

After looking around, Jimmy had to give up, there are about 800 kilometers from Knoxville to Quantico, Virginia, and the attractions around Knoxville, Jimmy is not interested.

Jimmy thought about it for a moment and decided to leave for Quantico early, not knowing if the FBI National Academy would accept the advance report. If not, Jimmy will have to find a place nearby for 2 days.

Jimmy started his car and drove straight down Route 81 to Virginia, where he rested for the evening at a place called Marion before departing for Richmond, the capital of Virginia, the next day, and after a one-night stay, heading straight to Quantico.

Jimmy's visit to the FBI National Academy is in the forest next to the city of Quantico, along with the Marine Corps Training Base and the DEA Police Academy.

Jimmy arrived at the check-in point a day early, but he couldn't drive to the college by himself, and needed to find a hotel in nearby Stafford for a night, and then meet at the check-in point the next day and take the bus to the college with the others.

For Jimmy, the biggest trouble is his car, taking advantage of the time, Jimmy contacted a parking lot, rented a long-term parking space, emptied the contents of the car, and he pulled his suitcase to the hotel next door.

Early the next morning, Jimmy arrived at the check-in point with his suitcase, got on the college bus, waited for the others to arrive, the bus started, drove into a forest road, and then came to the FBI Academy in the forest.

During the bus, everyone on the bus was silent, no one spoke, and it felt very depressing.

Eventually, the bus stops in front of a building, and the occupants get off one after another, and Jimmy gets his suitcase and follows the flow of people into the building.

….

Jimmy has been observing other people and the surrounding environment, most of these people are a little excited and nervous after getting out of the car, Jimmy is very much looking forward to this training, he knows his shortcomings, although he has been a police officer for two years, but he has not been systematically trained before, strictly speaking, he is only a half-finished police officer.

For many people, there is a sense of mystery about becoming an FBI agent, and coming to the mysterious FBI Academy to participate in training and becoming an agent is the biggest goal of these students at present, and it is also Jimmy's goal now, but he still doesn't know if he will be able to pass the academy study and test.

Under normal circumstances, the FBI will only select some people with excellent grades from the students, give badges and assign positions, and those who do not get the assignment can only leave.

The FBI Academy is new to these newcomers, and everyone just follows the instructions, enters the building, and follows the thoroughfare

Walk to the check-in desk, register at the dormitory, and everything is like a college freshman's admission.

Jimmy and the others put down their luggage and then went to the lobby, where the house supervisor and counselor explained the precautions and preparations, and the staff prepared clothing and utensils for each student.

When everything is ready, all students are assigned dormitories for rest.

On the second day, the students begin their formal college life, and all students are required to participate in a new employee training course to learn more about the FBI's history, culture and composition, learn about the tests and related courses they will participate in at the FBI Academy, and take an oath of honor.

"As a student of FBI College, I am committed to the pursuit of truth and knowledge, and I subscribe to the highest standards of honesty, integrity, loyalty, and noble conduct, and I will not condone the actions of those who resort to dishonest means in order to achieve moral hopes."

For Jimmy, his understanding of the FBI mainly depends on the TV series and movies he has watched before, and this time he can understand the history and structure of the FBI from the beginning, which is also a novel experience, as for the oath, well, Jimmy doesn't think there is anything special, and he also needs to take an oath when he is a policeman, just go through the process.

From the third day, the students will enter the first test, the physical fitness test.

The FBI requires all agents to be physically fit to complete the training, and passing the fitness test is essential to complete the subsequent basic training course, ensuring that the trainee can successfully complete their studies during the learning process and be able to perform their duties effectively after graduation.

Of course, there are full-time physical training agents in the academy, and the academy also has gyms and sports venues to ensure that the trainees are in good physical condition during the 5-month learning process.

There are not many physical fitness tests in this part, such as sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, 300-meter sprint and 2.4-kilometer run, with a sub-scoring system, and the passing score is a total score of 12 points.

Sit-ups, standard posture, 38 in a minute to get 1 point, no rest in between, after each additional few, add one point, 58 more than 10 points.

Push-ups, standard posture, arms and shoulders straight when descending, regardless of time, but need to be done consecutively, 30-32 for 1 point, 33-39 for 2 points, after each additional 1 point for 1 point, 71 or more for 10 points out of 10.

Pull-ups, the chin is required to exceed the pole after being pulled up, and more than 2 will be scored, and more than 20 will be scored out of 10 points.

In the 300-meter sprint, the score starts within 52.4 seconds, and the full score is within 40.9 seconds, with 1 minute every 1.5 seconds.

2.4km run, scored from 12:24, full score at 8:59.

The above data is for men, women have lower requirements, no more than 5 minutes of rest in the middle of each of the 5 sets of tests, at least 1 point for each group of tests, and a total score of at least 12 points.

Fortunately, these contents are not a problem for Jimmy, one is that he is really young, and the other is that while he has been a police officer for the past two years, he has not given up fitness and martial arts, and has always insisted on physical training, so passing is not a problem for him.

For trainees, the requirements for prospective agents and quasi-intelligence analysts are different, and for prospective intelligence analysts, the data of the physical fitness test is more of a reference and is not mandatory.
