What happens if I am unable to pass the minimum physical testing requirements?

Within 6 months, on a date and time of the LPD’s choosing, you can re-test.  If you successfully pass the re-test, you are eligible to proceed in a hiring process.

Should you fail the re-test or not show up for the re-test you will be eliminated from that hiring process.  You would then be eligible to reapply one year from the re-test failure.
