Title: Well, he is sworn in and ready for his training
Post by: TMB on August 04, 2013, 12:48:14 AM: Just an update, my son is now sworn in and ready for his training.

He has been hit with a taser and been sprayed with pepper spray so now the training/ride alongs can start.

Kimmie is not real happy but how can you tell him not to do the job he was meant for?

Thanks for letting a proud dad show off a little. :)

Good luck!

Post by: muebe on August 04, 2013, 10:38:03 AM: Tommy that is fantastic! You should be very proud. It takes a special person to become a police officer! Thank him for his public service from me!

BTW I know Kimmie is worried but here are the 10 most dangerous jobs in America and Police Officer is not on the list...

1. Logger
2. Pilot
3. Fisher
4. Iron/Steel Worker
5. Garbage Collector
6. Farmer/Rancher
7. Roofer
8. Electrical Power Installer/Repairer
9. Sales, Delivery, and Other Truck Driver
10. Taxi Driver/Chauffeur

I would be more worried about my son working at a liquor store than being an officer.

Little I know about your son that you told me, he will enjoy much success!

As a volunteer medic and public servant he was doing that for free... now he will get paid!

I feel most people that truly enjoy their job do not watch the clock and do a better job than someone doing it because they could not find anything else or accidently wound up in the job.

He is a man on a mission... a man with purpose! Proud for your family Tim!
