Josh,
What school are you going to? I am in my 4th week at AMDG South in Peachtree City, Ga. We had our physical last week-------we went to a offsite doctors office and did the basic DOT physical. Controlled blood pressure is no problem at all. Just make sure the day you are scheduled for your exam (and you will know what day that is after school starts----just make sure you remember to take your medication early that morning) You will have a hearing test, eye sight test, nut check for a hernia, and have to urinate in a cup so they can check for drugs and to see if you are a diabetic and they will check your blood pressure. They weighed us, measured how tall we are and did a balance check with your eyes closed-your head tilted back your arms straight out. The doctor taps on your shoulders to try to get you off balance.
As far as the real drug test goes we had that during our secound week of school-we had a nurse come in and clipped a huge hair sample from us to test for drugs---this test goes farther back.
You need to start studying the proper signals for your division ---you will have to write these word for words before you get out. The sooner the better. Most guys remember them by writitng them out over and over and over.
Good luck
