Academy Update

Oh, yes. that.

Well, since I ditched my car back in January, I had to borrow my father's until we could get a new one (waited on tax return)

Well, I didn't realize it, but the plate lamp in the back was out, and on the way home from academy one night, I got pulled over by a state trooper for it. He told me the lamp was out, saw my hat and gear bag from the academy, and asked if I was in training. When I said I was, he told me 'This stop never even happened.' He got in his car and left.

I still had to report to the academy any police contact, citations or not, so I sent the appropriate email, but there was also a verbal directive to call and leave a message, no matter what time of day or night, which I didn't do. And got busted bad for it. I was almost given demerits, but instead was directed to write the rules and regulations section on police contact 5 times by hand.

In one of those bizarre small world things, a guy from the other end of the country who I did my infantry sergeant's course will be in my troop as well. I can't wait to get started.

That's awesome bri!

My cousin was one of two out of 100 to be chosen for the RCMP Musical Ride a few weeks ago.
