Miscellaneous
NYPD: I was a patrol cop in the South Bronx starting in 2000. I was at the WTC on 9/11 and the months afterward (crazy story). After a few years I took the NYPD Scuba Team physical and written test which is based on the US Navy BUDS entry test (the precurser to getting onto the SEAL Teams). Only about 5% who take the test pass. It's pretty tough even for most 20-somethings. We are one of, if not the only, 24/7-365, municipal dive team in the US. We have several boats and always have 2 divers on the NYPD Aviation Air Sea Rescue helicopter (a huge thrill when you first get onto the team). We worked a 12 hour tours and flip-flopped from days to nights. We did 3 days, 3 days off, 3 nights (7pm-7am). This was done because of the tides. It's impossible to dive in the any of the rivers in NYC unles it's slack tide (in between low and high tide when the rivers slow down and stop moving). Tides change every 6 hours so we needed to do 12 hour tours or there would be a full 8 hour tour that wouldn't be able to dive if there was a job. We swithched each week because the bulk of the grunt work was done during the day when it's safer to dive in the busy water ways of NYC. If you were in a squad that was only doing night tours, you would rarely dive at all and diving is a perishible skill. This schedule wreaked havoc on my health, both physical and emotional as I got into my late 30s and early 40s. We can talk about that as it pertains to overall health not to mention athletes. Oh, by the way I won a NY state road race championship after working 12 hours overnight and then driving to Albany to race. Ah to be young again. 2.
