Day one of the sixteen week training cycle started at 6;30 am with a wake up call to form up outside the barracks. Their DI formed them up right to left by height, tall to short. Kate standing 5'10 was in the center as the tallies male was 6'8" the shortest person a female was 5'2" most of the others centered around 5'6' to 5'8'
The jogged in formation foe fire miles. Then it was a free run a round the tract for a mile then Breakfast. They had eggs any style as long as they are scrambled, toast, mystery meat and a dark liquid they called coffee. Kate never ate eggs and the coffee was bad, but it is loaded with caffeine and she drank a whole cup just to stay awake. They marched to classes, and back. Class ended at five then supper and they were free to do what ever they wanted till 6:30am. studying was what the FBI wanted them to do. Sleep was an option, and personal contact is allowed. Kate's roommate was Callie Frances Mahoney from Seaside California . She is 5'6" blond and thin. She was twenty-two and just graduated from law school. She was very smart but very out of condition for an agent.
Kate and Callie worked together using their strength to help the other.
The time flew by as the fire arms testing was the last trial. You needed to score a 92 to pass. On her trial runs Callie score a 89 and a 87. Not passing meant not being able to carry a weapon and be assign a desk job for life. All night the nigh before Kate worked with her about the quick look and when to see and when to shoot.
Callie was the first person on the course to go.
With a wink and a smile Callie stared as the life came on. Unable to see in "Hogan ally" Kate went to the finish line. When a cadet failed the site stopped at once. When Callie stepped out and the ally was still running Kate was very happy only the score is to be the announce. Holding her breath the score came on the screen. 9.…3.…5. Passed. Both woman hugged each other. Then Kate is called to start. The light and horn sounded and Kate entered Callie waited and very quickly Kate exited. They waited. The score sheet started to un wind.

"Agent Becket this award has been in my hands for twenty-four years, I have loved it , but willingly give it to hold till the next Super Agent does better than you. Congratulation Special Agent Beckett."
The entire audience cheered and chapped. The only person who did not seem happy was Deputy Director Slater.
