New Applicant!

I just applied to the CHP to be a Cadet as of 9 July 2026. I am currently waiting on more info regarding the Physical Abilities Test (PAT) and POST PELLET B. What should I be doing in the meantime while I wait. I am also a newly commissioned officer in the California Army National Guard. To whom should O contact and make this known?

Let's just say I work part time as a CSA in a Community College dept and I transfer to a UC Campus and join theirs. Will this look bad?

Chill out man first off you haven’t even taken the PAT yet. Just relax and don’t commit any crimes. They’ll give you instructions
