My background

[joe_]

You come across like a kid who shoots off his mouth w/o knowing what he's talking about.

And you come across as some stodgy old fart that should have retired to Arizona years ago

It's nice to see in your last response to the OP, that you're only mostly stodgy! ;)

You still haven't told us your experience to back your statements. I give mine when I give an opinion, it's not out of @ss like yours.

thank your sir, its not that i hung around people like that but its that i am related to them. it didnt take me long at all to realize that it was dumb but its sad to say that they are still doing it. One of which is my 16 year old cousin who would have such a bring future if he would leave that stuff alone. Me and my other cousin who is the same age as i am have been working and trying to get him to leave that stuff alone but so far its does not seem to have had any effect

Get away from him. I know it's tough, I have some relatives that have criminal backgrounds too, but I moved to get away and rarely associated with them. You can't pick your relatives, but you have to disassociate from them if you want to go into LE. And you are not going to have any affect on his drug usage at all. He'll change when he decides to do so and not before. A bad relative is much better than a bad friend, but you still have to show they won't have an influence on you in LE.

How about a nice big cup of shut your hole? Remember whose house you're in and that you can be tossed out on your ear when you step over the line.

I'm putting this one to bed.

The OP has had his question answered by people who know what they are talking about (and some others).

Joe clearly has no interest in being forthcoming by answering the simple questions that have been put to him, and has successfully hijacked this thread away from it's intended purpose by being vague and evasive.

That will not happen very many more times.
