Thinking about becoming a LEO

[Taemian]

Still working with the same company, going to stay put for a few years while things settle down for my divorce. Take some college courses and then try to find something in the IT/Intel field for government or private contractor sector. That's really where the money is.

I've got too many health issues right now, got lucky and didn't need to have a double rotator cuff surgery done, just doing some intense physical therapy then have shift focus to my back. A lot of it stems from lots of high school sport injuries and my accident almost 5 years ago.

Thanks for the answer. I was deleting my old thread subscriptions and saw this one, so I wanted to find out. I'm glad your injuries don't require surgery.

Best of luck in whatever you end up doing!

Weirdly enough, out of the blue, last night my wife says "Are you really really sure you don't want to go back? I think I could handle it if we blah blah blah...". Ri-i-i-i-ght. Move along, honey, nothing to see here. But she did ask if I could teach her to shoot a handgun sometime soon. I blame it on all the Eastwood movies she's been watching.

Here's my 2 cents. Its the toughest job you will ever love. Front row seat to the world. You'll be amazed at what you can do and view some very unpleasant things. You are at the mercy of your department, having to work on holidays and special occasions. Most departments have decent benefits and you'll never get a ticket. Its not the same job our forefathers had because of the politics. Like anything, you find your nich and make the best of it.

Don't need to be a police officer for that
