    I had Roehl orientation physical today with the heart beat per minute test and blood pressure. Didn't really go too well with two out of us three there went over on the heart rate deal. Me and another guy sent home. Little options. Roehl seemed to look really good and the guy that got knocked out by it with me wasn't very happy. Nerves got us both as the pressure is real and you feel it when it's all on the line. We both are in excellent shape as he's out of the military and I carried a chainsaw logging my whole life, go figure. Was wondering if all the companies do the heart rate deal as I really feel it's kinda silly when it can be simply caused by being a little nervous.

    When I took mine, my blood pressure was up. For the first time ever. I never thought about it but probably had too much pop and coffee before I took it. The nurse took it again about 3/4 of the way through and it was ok. Coulda been a case of nerves too. Who knows.
