Question

[sbruce87]

I am thinking about joining the coast guard reserve. How do departments look at that? Is it a good thing or bad?

Why would it be a bad thing that you joined an armed forces to help your country? :confused:

I am thinking about joining the coast guard reserve. How do departments look at that? Is it a good thing or bad?

im just worried that im going to get this degree in police science and then no one will hire me

I am planning on getting my Bachealours degree before i really start applying anywhere. I will probably be around 22-23 years old. So you guys think I have a shot at that point?

I am in college right now. Im taking a class called law enforcement administration.

The professor used to be chief of police to a couple of different towns. I emailed him and he wrote.............

So my advice is this. Do not apply to any police department now, or when you turn 21. Get your credit straightened out, develop a good job performance record, keep away from the drugs and alcohol, and do not get in any more trouble. I believe you now know the difference between right and wrong, but you now have to prove it by a length of time of showing that difference.

I'm not going to start applying anywhere until I get my bac. degree in public management. I will be around 22. And then I'm going for a masters in business. So hopefully I'll get picked up at around 22. Does this seem feasible?

Would it be possible to get hired at a dept? Even if it was a small chance. I know that if I bust my butt, im going to get hired. I really do appreciate all of your opinions, and I realize that im going up against some people who do not have this kind of background. But for some reason I'm just having a hard time believing that I need to wait until I'm 30 or so to become a police officer. I understand that if you come from a military background, you would like to believe that ex military people would likely be hired before a regular civilian. Do not get me wrong guys, I have asked for your opinions and I am thankful for them. But, to say that i would not have a chance at any of the thousands of police departments in this country would be ridiculous. You do not have to be godly to be a police officer. Far from it.

You ask and you ask and you ask. We answer, we answer and we answer. You even sought out the advice of your professor, who told you the same thing we told you.

Yet, again and again and again, you come back with the same question; twisted, tied, painted, colored, dyed and constructed in many a different manner. Yet no matter how you attempt to disguise it, you keep asking the same question over and over again.

Get over it already. If you aren't going to listen and follow our advice, fine, do what you want, but stop involving us by asking the same thing repetitively. Do it and leave us out of it, or, don;t do it and ask something new or contribute something worthwhile to the forum, besides your inane questions. :mad::mad::mad:
