From Illinois

[BAMCIS]

Hello, I currently live in North Carolina but am relocating back to Illinois. I have been in the Marine Corps for 8 years and have decided that I do not want to wait any longer to pursue a career in LE. I will be discharged with an honorable discharge, I have used what little down time I have had during the past 8 years to earn 68 credits towards my BA in criminal justice/law enforcement. I intend to use my GI Bill to continue my education after my transition back to the civilian world. I started applying about 6 months ago to a few departments back in Illinois, I have successfully tested with two and am traveling back and forth in April to complete the physical portion of the test with these departments. I am looking forward to learning as much as I possibly can about the process and I am grateful to all who are willing to help answer questions and share their experiences on this site.

OOHRAH and welcome to the forum! I just couldn't quite bring myself to move back to IL after I retired, a little too flat and a little too much corn. Good luck to you!
