Just thought i'd pass on to the RM crew what's new in my little world. I've been hesitant to post anything about this for a while because, up until this week, no one at my work knew about it.
i'm about done with the hiring process for the border patrol. the opportunity came up, i applied, and am now just waiting on the results from my background investigation. i've been in the process since december, got a conditional offer in april and should, hopefully, get a firm offer by september.
the local cop stuff has been great for the past 8 years. we train more than any department in the region and, for the past few years, i've been doing a lot of instructing/teaching in addition to my normal duties. unfortunately, we haven't had a raise in 4 years and morale is getting really low for this and other reasons. the BP is something i've always been interested in and, besides the fact that i love what i do now and the BP is one of the few Fed law enforcement jobs that still does actual police work (not sitting at a desk all day like ATF/DEA/FBI/ICE) , the benefits are hard to pass up.
the family is on board with the move, probably to the Tucson area, and we have a lot of support from our friends and family. we don't live near family now so moving won't be a big burden.
so anyway...i just wanted to update those of you who might care.
oh yeah...from the AZ forums, there seems to be a budding gravity scene (FR/DH/DJ) in the SW AZ area...can any locals confirm?
