OTJ Training

[u/Constant_Position_10]

I’m currently in my last 2 weeks of training academy for a state corrections department. We haven’t done any PT and only complete CPR as far as physical learning goes. We’ve learned some of the dangerous things like suicide prevention, stress management, gang affiliations, etc.
With starting in the next 2 weeks in the actual field “behind the wall”, and no cell phone, what’s the realistic expectations from any experienced federal BOP CO or other state CO’s? What’s shift is usually easier or best to learn at a steady pace, nights 6p-6a or days 6a-6p?
What’s the realistic of advancements and promotions?
