Hennepin Co. E-squad

[MNLakeDiver]

I got a call today from Hennepin Co. Sherif Res. about joining the E-Squad and posably the dive team.
It turns out I have to interview with a Sgt. that was in my Patrol in Boy Scouts all those years ago.  ;D
he also told me they already setup pooltime for a swim test

I would be interested to know what type of dive equipment they use on the hennepin county dive team and how it compares to other teams in the area. Maybe once you get the dive team spot you can fill us in on the details.

On Sat. I hade an interview at the Hennepin Co. Patrol office. I got a tour of some of there equipment nice new RIB.
On Sun. we had a swim test and then we had to complete the MMPI test
the swimtest was vrey simple. We swam 100 yards, dove down 12 feet to recover a 10# weight, and floted for 15 min. all fully clothed in long pants and long sleeved shirt.
I will hear in a couple weeks if I make the E-Squad.
