It's been a while

As expected, I did not pass the PT test when I returned to MD. I improved on everything (except the run for obvious reasons), but not enough. So, I am back at home now. I resigned my position with the Secret Service Uniformed Division.

Over the course of training, I discovered that the Secret Service was not where I really wanted to be anyway. The job that I would be doing in that division was a glorified version of what I did with the Pirates.... I would've been bored out of my mind in months. I am interested in the investigation aspect of policing. That is what I am good at and what I enjoy. That is not what this was. At least now, with the FLETC certificate, I am considered a Federal Law Enforcement Officer; I just don't have an agency backing me at the moment. Within the next few months I will be putting in my applications with some other agencies that specialize in the investigative aspect. It means more training, but I've expected that.

Why am I waiting a few months to put in the application? Well, believe it or not, I actually went to a doctor that has a brain. He FINALLY found something wrong with my knee. I am scheduled for surgery on my knee on December 12th. There is something wrong with the band that goes around the patella. It is acting like torn cartilige. So, he's going to go in and snip it out.... can't wait!

So, thank you to everyone for all of the support. I really appreciate it.
