My new job
After years of trying, I finally have been hired. Monday morning I was sworn in as one of the newest police officers of my home town. Im so excited. The acadeny starts January 16, and until then we are working in the station. I know some of you hate cops but o well. This is what I wanted all my life.

RE: My new job
Congrats man, I remember how happy I was when I got into the academy here.
It's a good career, a bit of advice;
You either love it, or you don't. Once it becomes a 9-5 job for you - get out. It's much too sensitive of a position for someone who's just trying to make a paycheck.

RE: My new job
Congratulations, If your working in a job that you want to do, then your a lucky SOB.
I'm at the other end of the slide, I retired 8 years ago (turn 55 in a week). I worked for 18 years with same government organisation, with the last 10 are real pain in the bum. But was locked in by the usual, morgage, food and lust for new motorcycles. If I had my time back again I would have taken the risk and tried something new. Anyway, be safe.

RE: My new job
Good for you HX! I think the reason some people don't like cops is because they f*ck up and get busted. Chances are, if you weren't an idiot, you wouldn't have a problem. I would rather haverookies, a-holes, and burnoutsthan no cops at all. Cops are human, and they can be cool or they can be *********, and sometimes they even make mistakes. No one ever claimed they were infallible. I wanted to be a CHP, but I had a somewhat checkered past and was afraid that I would be found out during the interview session. Anyway, befair...I think that is the best character trait.
