    Corn, lots of it.
    Excellent list. Use it as a time to get in the peak physical condition....and don't get out of it.

    Good list. For each of those items, I can think of someone (often the same few someones) who didn't adhere to them.

    The one someone posted about honesty with things like PT is absolutely true. I saw a classmate not get hired because someone remembered he liked to skip laps on the runs and claim he had finished.

    This sounds similar to basic training/ intital entry training for the military. Never realized how military themed police academies were until recently. Interesting.

    Integrity counts in any academy setting. Trust me, the cadre knew who the shitheels were and they were watched closely. Maintain your professional bearing and discipline and you'll be fine.
