Finally out!

So the first week of the academy was on proper wearing of shoes?

Imagine how much time they spend during driving.

Day 1: "nunna yall have seen one a these. It's called a 'Mo Tor Vee Hick ill. Summa tha larger departments outta state have more than one."

This is giving me flashbacks to Switch's Kentucky descriptions..

That's no joke, his FTO type program is one of the longest I've ever heard of at about 6 months!

I forgot to tell you about the projects we have built in with our "PTO" program as well.
Very in depth and complicated involving a typed written report that we must present to supervisors. Also we have a VERY high turn over of rookies because of the super high bar set. I have talked to quite a few other officers at other local departments and so's and they have all heard of our "dreaded" pto program and say how easy theirs is.

Im pumped about it but super nervous. It makes me glad knowing out of the tons of people that applied i was the top of the barrel and if/when I make it through pto i will be in the less than 10% that make it which shows quality BUT its extremely nerve wracking and has me stressed to the max 24/7! lol


I'll probably have tons of questions and updates for you guys for sure!! And i definitely appreciate all the support- its easy to see that for the most part LE is the best fraternity/family ever.

Those Underwood No. 5's are tough. First time at the keys? (sorry, another Arkansas joke).

Definitely keep us updated, but start a new thread for it as this one has run it's course.

Oh, and since I see you've received your Verified LEO tag, where's my $950??

Congratulations! Hope you have as much fun in your career as I did in mine!
