I am new to the site. I am 27 and live in Maine. I am a late bloomer but am on goal for a one year or less to be in shape physicaly and mentaly to apply localy. I would be jus one of my family in the force. Grampa, Uncle and cousin are all cops, and it is my turn.
I want more for my self, my family, my community and my country.
I start the gym monday and have been eating better for a week now.
This is new to me, but something I have wanted for a wile, jus never had the push to do it.
I do now.
Thank you all who read this, and this site has helped me out a huge amount on some of the questions I have here and there when my family is not avaible.
Take care all,
Darrell

27 is not really a late bloomer. I have personally heard many administrators wish they could delay all hiring until the applicants were thirty years old. ;)

Welcome from Connecticut!
I was offered my job on my 29th birthday, so I don't think 27 is too late to start.
I think I'd have gotten in trouble if I had been hired at 21. For me there was a big difference in maturity between 21 and 29.Cogito ergo summopere periculosus.
