Re: Got my new job finially

hope you like the heat!!

Congrats.

Remember, any academy is designed to push you mentally as well as physically. It isn't personal. Keep your head down and push yourself and you'll do well.
 
Re: Got my new job finially

Thanks guys!

I cant imagine the academy will be any worse then basic so going into it with that mind frame. So it should go ok. Though as I go through it Ill keep you updated
 
Re: Got my new job finially

Congratulations on the new job.
 
Re: Got my new job finially

Congrats Bitter!

I applied/went through the process a few years back and turned it down when they called to give me a date at the academy. When I first applied I was out of work, but found what I thought was a pretty killer job shortly after. Yeah, I was wrong... I should never have turned it down.
 
Re: Got my new job finially

A word of warning Bitter, if you see a BATFE official, run like hell. He will not have your well being in mind.
 
Re: Got my new job finially

If you are not already familiar with it and want to G2 the academy/work situation a bit, check out the forum over at Honor First.com

Congrats and stay safe!
 
Re: Got my new job finially

not sure if you have military experience but if so, you'll have no problem in the academy with the mind games they try to play.
 
Re: Got my new job finially

Re: Got my new job finially

Bitter,

Congrats. It is a good job and Douglas is not bad. I would not recommend living there though, look at Bisbee or somewhere else. Congrats again!
 
Re: Got my new job finially

Congrats bitter, I was in the process for a long while. And while being delayed even further, I ended up landing the completely awesome job I have now. Good luck in the Patrol, I've got more than a few family members doing that job, and they love it.
