Oral psych, just venting a bit

[vegas8921]

I just got home from taking the oral psych exam and wow. I was confident and was as detailed as possibled about my history. If I dont make it through this process then it just was not ment to be for me. All I went over was every bad thing or mistake I made in my life. The doctor doing the interview wanted alot of details. A F*$#@LOT of detail. Now the Las Vegas Metro Police Department knows just as much about me as God does. I had no idea people went through this much just to get to this point let alone the academy then field training. It makes me respect police that much more. There are bad cops out there, but I believe 99% are good ones. After taking the 1100 question written psych exam Monday and now the oral psych, I cut my chances to 55% passing. My polygragh is scheduled for next Tuesday 8am. Thanks for your support everybody

Don't be too hard on yourself. After listing everything you have possibly done wrong you feel about the size of an ant. Keep your head up.

Just remember that everyone else has to go through the same process you did. When I did it about a hundred years ago, I figured they weren't just picking on me. Later after I talked to others in my academy, I was right.

Don't worry yet! I know I walked out of my oral psych saying "WTF, I think I failed!" It was a long two weeks! It just shows that you are a typical canidate.

If you walked out with no worries and no stress from the doctor I would say you probably omitted a lot of info you probably should have mentioned or you lived such a boring and squeaky clean life that you have little to life experience.

Sounds like your going through what most of us did!
