Mark this day..
Go ahead and mark today as my first late night/early morning as an official ECU alumnus. I tried logging in to check my ECU mail only to find out that my account has finally been disabled. It took them around 3 months to do this - and I’m getting a little pissed that I STILL haven’t received my diploma. My neighbor got a nice little white envelope..I did not.
Anyways I bet you thought this was going to be an interesting entry ehh?
I might as well brief those on whats up with life at the moment. For the next few years and maybe for an entire career I’ll be working with a local PD getting some street experience and hopefully some investigative experience. My major prospects are Greenville PD and Raleigh PD. I would prefer to stay here for economical reasons but Raleigh would be a great city to work for as well.
To familiarize those who don’t know much about this process it’s nothing as simple as an interview or two. It’s more along the lines of Initial Interview, Polygraph, Fitness Test, Followup Interview, Psychiatric Exam, Medical Exam/Drug Test, and a Panel Review where they fire questions off at you. If you get three thumbs up after all that you’re in for the Academy which range from 4 to 6 months of academic, physical, tactical driving and firearms training and THEN you hit the streets. The next time you wanna grumble at a police officer because he/she isn’t floating your boat make sure you remember the work and prep that goes into becoming an officer and then listening to your lousy excuse for speeding
