    Side note, can anyone recommend a good flashlight for academy/field? Need to buy my own. Surefire?

    Thank you! But I think this weekend will be more devoted to running and pushups, and maybe a celebration dinner!

    Congratulations!!

    I have never owned one, but I've seen some nice looking NOVA lights at Target, I'd definitely try one of those if I needed one... particularly with the advances in LED bulbs.

    The Streamlight Stingers that I own are ,IMO, a bit dated now. While they are good lights, I don't know if they have come out with NIMH battery sticks yet, and my Nicads are shot... but I don't use mine for work any longer.

    BTW, a Stinger or any C cell flashlight will carry in your uniform belt pretty nicely in a baton holder, but it may not be the most secure.

    Creeker's tip # 22: Even when working dayshift, never go to work without a good flashlight on you.

    CONGRADULATIONS!!!

    This is what I have been carrying since going on duty. It's great for anything and very durable. Especially after whatever you need it for;):D.

    I keep a charger in my POV and the other in my gear locker at work.

    You should PARTY this weekend! It's going to be awhile before you get another chance.:p:D

    Congrats ! and a Streamlight Stinger is very reliable. My batts lasted almost 2 years.

    And I have used it a lot even on dayshift when inside a building.
