    Introduction: Done!

    Dave here, chiming in from beautiful Fresno, California.

    I noticed at least one other person from near my area; Expect for me to be in touch soon.

    Pending some sort of interview, I'll be starting a POST academy here in Fresno come January. Wish me luck, and feel free to ship some hints my way, as I'm pretty nervous about it.

    Since it mentions hobbies, I'm an amateur mechanic. I love anything with wheels, but my heart lies with 4x4's. Also an avid hunter, camper and mountain biker. Always looking for someone around here who's into the same things, never having much luck.

    Recently married, on the 6th of July.

    I expect that, if this board is half as informative as the other's I'm members of, I'll have life pretty easy.

    I look forward to all the interaction I'll be receiving here.


    -Dave

    Welcome to PR. I live in Visalia, CA. I have a friend of mine who is in the SWAT team for Fresno PD. He trains them as well. He's probably one of the reasons why I am persuing to become a cop. I also like it!

    SWAT. That's my next coa, when I get on with the SO here. I'd be interested in knowing this guy, as I'm sure he's a wealth of information.

    Hm..I once dated a girl who's dad was on SWAT..wonder if it's the same guy...

    My ex-sniper partner (he just resigned from the team) on the USMS SOG is stationed in Fresno. He's not much of a biker or camper, though. If I recall he hunts.

    If you make it to the midwest, I am alsways looking for a glutton-for-punishment on the trails.

    What is his name? Who knows it might be him! He lives in Visalia too.

    A snout has told me he's got a set of nostrils, so go and get a W so we can spin his drum to see if he's got any monkey gear - The Sweeney.
