SteelReign got a reaction from McAwesome6934 in Starting the Police AcademyGuys, my lifelong dream has finally come true. Eight years ago, I started working for County Corrections thinking it would be a great experience and maybe a foot in the door to the police. My first two attempts into the police were in 2007 and 2010. Both ended in disappointment. I sure as hell didn't let that stop me though. I started my third attempt LAST August, and just received my final offer of employment three days ago. I start on February 28th and I can already feel that this is going to be the longest two weeks EVER waiting for it. The best thing is, I got in with the same County that I already work for, so my 8 years transfers from my pension plan, and all my annual and sick leave transfer over too, the only thing that doesn't come with me is seniority (they used to do it based off how long you've been with the County, but not anymore). So anyways, I'll try to stop by and check in with you guys periodically. Until then, carry on!

SteelReign reacted to Nutt in Starting the Police AcademyCongratulations!
Ten Academy Rules.
1. Always address your ATO's properly and with respect. Sir / Ma'am...
2. PT (Physical Training) is crucial... during and after the Academy. Always strive to do better every PT session. And don't wait for the Academy PT sessions, do them also during downtime periods.
3. Never be afraid of asking questions... especially ones you don't fully understand.
4. Do not bring your bad habits (behavior too) into the Academy. The first 2-3 months of Academy life is weeding out Cadets with poor habits (attitudes, hygiene issues, poor grooming of facial hair and hairstyles, etc..).
5. "IF" a group captain or leader is assigned, then they are the first point of contact for any problems that may occur and the first step in building/teaching/understanding the CoC (Chain of Command) procedures.
6. DO NOT EVER BREAK THE CHAIN OF COMMAND!!! Especially during Academy life.
7. Your stress levels will be at its highest during academy life. You're going to want to scream, break things, punch some folks (ATO's especially)... but don't, please don't. Take that anger and frustration and turn it into positive energy towards PT or SD/TT.
8. The mind is stronger than your physical being - remember that. It's all a mind game...
9. Start disassociating yourself from people(s) and place(s) that may be deemed as seedy or inappropriate.
10. Always pray if you believe in GOD... if not, meditate and focus on the goal at hand. Being the best person you can be.
I see that you're a Correctional Officer and you probably know these things already... however, it never hurts to be reminded of them. :)
Later Bro...
