VSP Academy Week 14 (112th)

[636ninja]

Things have been rolling the last few weeks, which is also why I haven't had time to post updates. But I'm still here! :D

We had our traffic direction and control practicals this past week. We started with a smaller intersection in the morning, and after lunch they put us in one of the worst intersections in town, turned off the lights, and put us to work. I was nervous at first, but ended up having a ball. I must've been grinning from ear to ear, because my instructor told me I looked like I was having fun.

We had our Family Day and swearing in ceremony on Friday, and now I'm home for two weeks while I go out on FTO. I've met my FTO briefly, and he seems really cool...can't wait to hit the streets!! We have maily interstate responsibilities in my area, and there are several major ones running through here with lots of wrecks, so I'm sure I'll get plenty of experience with that SP-50 pad and accident investigation. It will be great, though...these next two weeks will remind us all why we are here.

I'll keep you posted!

You're almost there! Keep it up :D

Which intersections?

[Roger Dat]

Great job ninja keep up the excellent work!

[Darin]

I was wondering where ya been. The FTO period will be a welcome break.

Which intersections?

My group was at Turner and Walmsley in the morning, and at Huguenot and Robious in the afternoon.

We had quite a few Chesterfield guys drive by and check on us...you must've gotten a lot of calls about the lights being out. :D

Turner and Walmsley is where we put our recruits too. Right into the ghetto. Not too bad to direct. Huguenot and Robious is a pain though

[shugs]

Since you are eager and want to get into stuff and work a few wrecks, people will suddenly be law abiding, and actually learn how to drive for the time you out.

This happens to me whenever i want to be productive. Can't find the first person to break the law in my presence.

Yeah, the first was a pretty easy intersection. But somehow I don't think the people driving through appreciated our presence...we received plenty of hand signals from passing motorists! :D

The second intersection was indeed difficult. You really had to think and be on your toes the entire time. But I had a ball....and the best part is, I didn't cause any wrecks. ;)

After spending a day with my FTO, somehow I don't think we'll have a problem finding trouble! :D
