Section 3 · Choose your track
Built around real entrance standards.
Pick your career. Get a track designed around the physical test, the academy demands, and the first year on the job.
Section 4 · Training intelligence
Programming that knows your shift and your cycle.
Tell the platform your shift pattern and where you are in your cycle. It adjusts the daily prescription: heavier sessions on off-days, controlled loads after a 24-hour pull, recovery windows that match your biology.
- 4.1
Shift-aware placement
13 patterns supported, from 24/48 to Kelly to Panama. Your session lands on the right day.
- 4.2
Cycle-phase programming
Follicular push weeks. Luteal recovery windows. Training that works with your biology, not against it.
- 4.3
Daily readiness check-in
Log how you feel. The engine adjusts intensity, so day 2 off a 48-hour pull is never a grinder.
