Congratulation to those of you who made the list. Now is time to prepare and take the CPAT, also time to make sure you get your EMT Certificate.
Here is some CPAT advice from Greg: Check out the website: http://www.cffjac.org/go/jac/cpat/CPAT 1) When you sign up or the orientation (10AM to Noon) , sign up for the $25 practice test for that same afternoon (1 PM to 3 or 4 PM). This way you only have to drive out to Livermore once. I would encourage everyone to take a practice test to get a baseline (mentally... and physically) to know what shape you are in before actually taking the $150 Test. You only get one chance on test day and really don't want to flush away $150, if you fail.
2) Get on to youtube.com and search "SFES CPAT". This is a 4 part video series breaking down each of the 8 events with how to train for each event.
