My Application Process Is Done

I was glad to see that the other four other guys where as nervous as I was as we sat in the Recruiting office waiting for our final offer of employment.

The final offer of employment was a lot different than what I had expected, but in a way I was glad. I was expecting it to be a big production, but instead it was a bit rushed. We all sat at a large table with the Major at the head. As he flipped through our files he congratulated us all and went around the table and asked everyone if they still wanted to work for the department, everyone said “yes”. The major than excused himself from the room and left the recruiting officer in charge of finishing everything.

 

I start 11 Sept 06 (I know, I know) and will be going to the academy the week after. so I guess it will be a week of shit duty before we go to the academy. Than it will be 6 weeks of worst than shit duty at the academy, so I better enjoy it now.
