When I talked to the recruiter about not making the last class he said that the last person to make the August class was 7851 on the list to include all military and deferrals. I think your numbers are a little off. If you add backfills in to that your talking about another 10 to 20 people.Last edited by GrayPatriot; 09-06-2007, 07:52 PM.Comment

I just wanted to wish everyone still in the process and those who will be taking the upcoming exam the best of luck. Unfortunatly for me I'm no longer in the running.
Due to being born with a cateract in one eye I couldn't meet the corrected standard of 20/20 in that eye. Even after two surgeries, the best I could do was 20/30. It is frustrating to say the least considering my other eye is 20/20 and my overall vision is 20/20. But hey, I guess I would rather be dq'd for a reason out of my control than an integrity issue or something from my past coming back to haunt me.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to continue rapeing Ma Bell's pocket book for another 20yrs.Last edited by VZMan; 09-07-2007, 10:39 AM.Comment

Is this confirmed by the SP doctors or are you just assuming you are DQ'd?Comment

VZMAN, I am so sorry to be informed of your bad fortune. I along with everyone else in this forum can really say you would have made a good addition to the ranks. I do hope you choose to stay with law enforcement and find something suitable for yourself that has less of a vision requirement. Best of luck.sigpicComment

you can't compare that to the cost of living (NY state vs.Georgia) and the environment.Weatherwise, georgia has NY beat and unless you are talking western NY, the money you make just doesn't cut it.Most cops make $100K .yr in CA (avg pay is $54K to 75K/yr with some depts topping out at $105-110K,and some as LOW as 50-64K.yr) still,I wouldn't look down on say a Texas officers pay( avg $40K to 60K/yr) as that Texas guy can buy literally 2 1/2 times the home in TX (avg $120K for ,2400 sq ft home on a 1/4-1/2 acre) than I can in So.Calif ( avg home is 1,300 sq ft and $500K ); if you live on the "cheap" in NY and save your pennies plus invest,you CAN later live in montana with $80K/yr"we're americans ! We don't quit because we're wrong, we just keep doing it wrong UNTIL it turns out Right"...Comment

This is where people are mistaken with NY State. NY state is around 49,000 sq miles and NYC is around 322 Sq miles. Once you go even a small bit north of the city the cost of living gets lower. I live close enough to the Canadian border and before the military base expanded you could buy a 4 berdroom 2 bath 2,000sq feet on an acre for $80,000. You could also have bought 100' of waterfront for the same property for $200,000. Now the prices have risen a bit but they are still incredibly low, especially in comparisson to anywhere near NYC.Last edited by John2008; 09-07-2007, 08:59 AM."Why you harassing me?"Comment

Also, I never look down on any cop regardless of what they are making. A cop is still a cop no matter where they work or how much they get paid.sigpic

Sorry to hear that. All of the SP members on this board root for you guys and it is never pleasant to hear someone not making it. I inderstand it is no real basis but based on your posts you seemed like you would have made a positive addition to our ranks.
Best of luck...

I already paid my fee for the upcoming exam and may still take it just for the hell of it to see if I can score better than last time. Plus one never knows what type of new procedures for vision correction may arise in the future.
Thank you again to everyone who was helpful in the past on here.Comment
