17-1 and 1 to go...... ;-)
11 years ago
It never seemed like this day would come, but here we are. We're 17 weeks in and we have just one left to go. So that means that next Monday will be my last 4 a.m. drive to the academy each week, plus I'll be able to have contact with my friends on a regular basis like a normal person.
This week included a trip to the annual State Law Enforcement Memorial. The reading of all of the fallen officers names, while the public safety pipe and drum corps played Amazing Grace was very moving.
I also passed my final physical fitness test with no issues. It took me 24 seconds longer to make my run, but I guess I can live with considering I spent the previous 6 weeks on light duty.
We also finished our practical evaluations. We were broken into 2 man teams and my Team (Team Angry Old Man), finished in second place.
I whish I had a way of video taping our arrival on Monday because it should be quite interesting. One of our cadets who competes in cowboy action shooting will be arriving in the appropriate garb, wearing his competition rig and sporting a Ruger Vaquero. I on the other hand will be doing something quite a bit different. You see the Senior Cadre made a comment to me and it's one that I'm more then equipped to carry out. He told me a couple of weeks ago that we needed a mascot....... So on Monday I'll be wearing in my Dept's G-Shep suit.

I could imagine a trip to the memorial would be quite memorable. Sounds like a solemn place.
And hey, if you ever feel down about your run time, you still likely made it a good five minutes faster than I ever could!
Your department's G-Shep suit? Urk! That would be worth getting photos of!
