OK I should be posting in General Discussion I know, but this was my first forum in TFL and I have a special attachment to it. Hope everyone understands.
I think most of you are aware that I've discussed applying to a PD to become a LEO in either Los Angeles or Hawaii. I've had personal problems and serious turmoil in my life that has prevented me from taking advantage of the opportunity to do so earlier. I wanted everyone to know that I value the advice given to me on the topic, but I've taken a different choice.
I am enlisting in the United States Army. Most of the initial paperwork is done, it's just a matter of the written test, physical examination, and language aptitude test. All of this will happen right after Thanksgiving. I'll be off to basic within a couple of weeks. I should have done this earlier, but I had the notion of crossing the mainland and enlisting in Hawaii. I will no longer be able to do so because my life has come to a point where I have to make a choice, or forever leave it. And I've made that choice.
I think I'm good. I aced the practice written test, have no physical problems, no criminal record, no drug use, and have a college degree already. I think I'm going to get choice of duty station as well: 25th Light Infantry Division, "Tropic Lightning," based in Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. No other unit. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Between now and when everything is sorted out after basic, I will have no internet access. I'm moving out in a rush, somewhat forced - so I may or may not have time to goto a cybercafe in the next couple of weeks as I struggle to pull through. I'm sure I will. I'll miss you all, I guess. The LawDog Files, LASur5er's stories, David Scott's scenarios, The neverending AR15/M16 flame war, The Days of Panic when TFL was down, Gunslinger pulling a lot of us together, dumb stories, funny stories, sad stories ... yeah ... it'll be missed. TFL's been good to me. I promise I'll be good, and I'll pull through basic and tell you how it went. So administators, please keep my screenname out of the cold. I'll be back someday.
Be good everyone ... stay safe, much aloha to you all
