ALL DONE WITH FIRST YEAR OF COLLEGE Yay.

Don't get too excited. Enjoy your time there, it goes by way too fast. After college it's work and bills, and you might spend 2 + years trying to become a trooper only to continue waiting ...

+1 Well said Academy....

+2. Don't wish your life away. Take a minute to stop and enjoy it. I'm done with 4 years of college now, and find myself bored. I'm trying to learn a new language to fill the void and keep my mind sharp.

I understand! Def. not wishing it away, I'm having the time of my life playing ball, going out and partying as well as studying for schools and maintaining a 3.8 GPA. Everything is just great now. I just got a job at the airport too, so that should keep me busy.

Anyone know when "they" will grade the military exams from March? It always amazes me how long it takes to grade scantron/bubble answer sheets.

I want to take that class extremely bad but my agency won't send anybody to it anymore.

OTVFD: What platoon will you be on?

[Trooper4985]

Definately not a fan of the new look to the forums. Then again I have always hated any change.

[Worthless1]

I agree, change sucks.

You are too young to hate change.

BTW, yesterday a young Troop accused me of loving my job. He was promply reprimanded.

DRE Phase 1 complete. All I can say is holy crap! I learned a lot in the last 2 days but based on the Phase 2 manual (reem of paper) they handed us just after telling us we made it.... I am going to learn a whole lot more than I ever thought I would being a cop. I will say this though... the little bit I have learned so far has changed the way I will conduct every 1192 investigation from now on. Is anyone in the thread already certified?
