Sorry that I didn’t wrap up UOF Week on Friday…just wanted to get out of Dodge and go home for the weekend. We got called back to the gym at 1600 hours to run another cell extraction simulation. Quite interesting. These instructors definitely went home with some major bruises.
Well, I passed the written exam for Use Of Force with a 96. When I took the Practical, I actually failed two sections; Ground Handcuffing Position and Compliant Handcuffing. Both fails were a mere matter of adjusting my hand positions so I was either controlling the “inmate” with either a hand or the cuffs themselves. I passed both when I retested. Some others in the class were not so fortunate, so I have returned from Burlington early today in order to help them prepare for their retest on Tuesday. They really need to pass at that time. I will do what I can to assist.
Tomorrow begins the final week of this Academy. We will be covering Contraband, Searches and Emergency Preparedness. I was fitted along with the other Trainees with a SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) and we will be entering a “smokehouse” this week to find and recover a 180 pound mannequin and drag him out of the house. Should be fun.
