    I'm headed to Marshfield for class starting Dec. 6th. I have a question about the agility test. The picture shows a man crouching under a trailer. What is the height of the trailer? I'm 6'3" and am concerned about being able to crouch low enough. I can barely get under a trailer parked behind a shopping center.

    Thanks for any and all help

    Depends, but most are close to 47 inches.

    I'm 6'6" 320lb and had no real issues you only have to do it a few times.

    you could kneel on one knee under there, but not allowed to use your hands to get back into the duck walk position. Seems silly to me, but I managed even with this huge spare around my waist... I've been under my trailer several times and quite frankly always kneel. Just more stability under there. You also cannot touch the trailer. Which is crazy too. If I'm going under I'm grabbing the trailer to guide my big dome...
    Good Luck!

    Thanks all for the replies! It seems like I should get through it. I'm 6'3" 295lbs. I walk 2 to 4 miles a day (usually). The weights shouldn't be an issue. I'm finally starting to relax a little bit. I'll just be glad to get it over with.

    I went through the same "test" when I went through orientation with Schneider. Roehl seems to have recently adopted Schneider's physical. Prior to this Roehl really didn't have any good physical test.

    I'm loading up the suv to start my trip tomorrow to Marshfield for RDTC class on Monday. I'm leaving a day early so that I can have plenty of time to stop along the way for shopping. I can't get winter clothes here and will have to pick some up on the way.

    I can't believe the time is almost here. I started this process back on the 1st of September. Sleep apnea and data from the machine delayed my start. Anyway that is in the past and the future is in front of me.

    Good luck at school,I hear its very good.As far as the agility test,its simple and nothing to worry about.Take the weights slower if your ticker is prone to race.They will prob have your heart rate set at 170-180 being so tall.Your heart rate will prob reach 145-155 during those lifting and pulling parts of the test.
