On my way home from work today I received a call with an offer of employment. Not a conditional offer- I have already passed every test- this is a full offer. I start at the end of April. Out of hundreds of applicants my superior skill and charm has finally shown through!
This kicks so much *** I could probably give a stranger a high five and not care if he has bathed recently!

Dude congratulations. I remember when they called me offering a spot in the Acadamy it was the most happiest moment of my life.
Now its about 5 months later and my graduation will be that much sweeter.
Just remember shined shoes, stick your chest out, and for the love of god don't act like you know everything.

Just remember that no matter how tough the academy is, or how long it is, it will be over before you know it. Best wishes to you, and remember to pay attention to OFFICER SAFETY!

Congratulations! You fooled 'em!
Now get through the Academy, FTO and probation. Oh, and get a good lawyer through your department's Association. Kick money into your retirement from the get-go and don't stop.Of every one hundred men, ten should not even be here. Eighty are nothing but targets. Nine are real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the One... One of them is a Warrior... He will bring the others back.

Thanks everybody. It seems kind of surreal that I have finally been hired after applying with so many departments. Damn You Economy!!
My only worry is about my physical condition. I workout whenever I can but I don’t think that I am in awesome shape.... I have a feeling that the academy will try and remedy that.
