*salutes established officers* :D

Academy recruit (translation: peon) here, just wanted to say I really like the site and have found some of the forum info to be very helpful.

Welcome to the board and glad you like it. I tell a lot of new people, please feel free to submit suggestions as I'm always tinkering with new ideas to make it better. :D

*laugh* In the academy, we have to practically beg for water. Any of us being caught with a cup of coffee would bring kinda scary consequences. ;)

Thanks much; as a recruit, all I can do is stare straight at my screen at full attention...I wouldn't dare suggest anything for a few months, at least. ;)

Welcome aboard NYPD7.  Hey just out of curiousity how is the Police Officers salary compared to the price of living in NYC??  Hope that isn't to personal.

Welcome to RP !!!!!

Please feel free to speak your mind around here.......don't be shy...We're all still friends at the end of the day (most of us anyways :p ).......lol!!!

Thanks, all...appreciate it. Feels like home already. Wish I could've responded sooner/more but you know the drill. Sleep is a precious commodity during this time. ;)

Abirtz...fortunately I don't live in Manhattan itself; I don't think there's anyway a recruit/probationary police officer's salary could allow that unless the recruit had 10 roommates*laugh*...NYC currently starts at a little over $31K. NYC cops haven't had a contract in two years, though, and the PBA union has been feverishly negotiating a raise which is supposedly being decided in mid-July regarding the percentage...might be 10% or more. :D

My current activities are being subject to, or witnessing, vocal abuse LOL...but I'll be happy to vent here as needed, that's for sure. My classes are going well; the only thing I need to get used to is PT, which is where most of the stress is at right now. Our instructors redefine "strict", among other adjectives I'd prefer not to reveal for professional and safety reasons... ;)

NYPD7, thats what I thought. I mean DC is an expensive place to live, but I've heard that NYC is astronomical. Thanks for the advice though and I'll be sure to look into the new Union contract.
Stay safe out there.
