Four months at the academy, which would make him the oldest guy ever. <br /><br />The job isn't pounding a beat or working in the jail, it would kind of be like asking the CEO of McDonald's to flip burgers, and our legislature passed an exemption, sort of. He still had to pass the physical, which he did with flying colors, and an open-book test, which he has now failed twice.<br /><br />So it's back to the academy after all ...Steve Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079658447270792228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14473417.post-72327105613132399452009-07-25T06:41:43.823-07:002009-07-25T06:41:43.823-07:00Oh, that was good Vaughn.

Law enforcement, combat vets, firefighters all share this type of bond. In many ways, they become your family.<br />Isn't it fun being a Sgt? I used to refer to myself as a shit filter. I filtered the crap coming down from Admin to make sure my people didn't suffer unduly and I filtered it going back up the COC in order to get my people what they needed. It's where the supervisory "rubber hits the road" and a lot of the time the tire doesn't have much fun.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05432576056092320465noreply@blogger.com
