| Just got home from Day one of the academy. Head hurts, feet hurt, butt hurts(two hour commute each way). Memo's to write yet tonight. Just 712 hours to go!:) |

Hang in there bro. I taught basic school for years, and it's really a long haul for the students. Seems like more quit because they get tired of the grind than because they can't handle the work. You'll make it if you really want to. Don't forget to give your spouse/GF/parents etc. a pat on the back from time to time. It's as rough on them as it is on you...... |

I like deputies. Got one of my tickets from a Thurston County Deputy. Nice guy. The WSP wasnt so cool, he just wanted money. What county? Here in Thurston the Sherriff is Gary Edwards. My dad knows him, says hes a good man. That said, Dallas Hogan, the Deputy that was arrested for rape, arrested a felon in my yard. Good luck. |

sixgunsblazing Good luck. I'm just starting the process now. When you get 5 minutes after this is all over I'm going to bust your chops for some tips. I've got a hernia surgery on the 23rd that will take me out of action for three weeks but I'm still on target to start testing and interviewing this year. I'm in Edmonds. Where are you? South, East, West, or North of Normandy park? When I do end up at the Academy I will have less of a drive than you. Only 1 hour or less and if the traffic is too bad going North I can go South to Tacoma and crash at my Mom's. |
