So this is pretty damn cool.  I put in my notice on Tuesday and wouldn't ya know it....that had to be my last day.  Because of the type of merchandise I dealt with coming in and going out I am not permitted to carry out the duration on employment....for security reasons....psh! like I'd steal that shit ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I'm putting in my notice at TCO! I begin working down at headquarters next week on the 27th.  January 10th is day 1 of the academy. Tomorrow or the day after is when I'll get the official letter in the mail that has my class number, details of the uniform....all kinds of stuff.

I GOT THE CALL YESTERDAY!!!  I've passed the background stuff and my files been approved 5 times over by senior corporals, other people and the cheif.

My eyes floated a little bit ( Read more... )

I went to the DPD for testing.  Day one was the PT and Civil service test. The PT was a cinch.  What I thought would be a challange was more than a cake walk.  I passed that with flying colors...I'm glad I'm in good physical shape and continually maintaining. The civil service test was easy.  It was 100 scantron questions consisting of basic ( Read more... )

So I'm moving out this weekend. I'm pretty excited about it. Got a LOT of work ahead of me, that's for sure. Luckily I have a couple of friends who are happily willing to lend me their hands and trucks to help me out.
