[QUOTE="95oRANGEcRUSH, post: 15122901, member: 7168"] :rockon: Congrats and thank you for your military service! A guy on my shift formerly worked for Savannah's PD. Sidenote: I bolded an important part of your quote above. Try to keep this mentality for as long as you can. Even after FTO. Even after your probationary period. I have 1 1/2 years on the street in a city of roughly 200k people and by all accounts still consider myself a rookie. I came into this job at 30 years old after working a few corporate jobs and getting my bachelor's. I've noticed a lot of the younger guys, 22-27ish, with little "life" experience get cocky and a know-it-all attitude after 6-8 months on the job. This is dangerous for obvious reasons. Keep your ego in check and remember you never master this job, you only get better. You'll also go through phases in this job of burnout and other things. I'm sure you're aware of it. Make sure you touch base with senior guys, your trusted high law, chaplaincy and other resources if things get gloomy. Also, and I say this with a lot of respect meant, your time as an MP will be vastly different than that from a beat cop. You'll see what I mean once you get out in your city. Congrats again! :beer: [/QUOTE]
