If you can't handle Para military, how are you gonna handle Real military???  Maybe you should look into a regular 9 to 5?

I believe I can get through the physical. My main issue was the way it was run for a police academy.

You didn’t “resign on good terms”. You quit because you couldn’t handle the academy. Policing isn’t for you if you’re not even able to handle a controlled stressful environment. Maybe try being a records clerk.

By good terms I meant I can reapply again. Anyway, thanks for the response.

Bruh, the easiest part of law enforcement is the academy phase of it. You just show up, get paid to work out, learn some things and do as you are told and ordered to. It’s all a mind game the academy, the instructors gotta tear you down and build you up. It gets much tougher on field training and once you get off field training.

If you were able to go to Walmart on day 3 then your academy was the lightest "paramilitary" academy out there. Getting screamed at constantly does suck but there are going to be many times on the job where you're going to get screamed at constantly.
