Careers for life

[gryph89]

Well, I figured, since I've been here for a long time, and I've kinda grew close to all of you. I felt the need to share.

Anyways, after working 9 hour shifts, everyday day with the exception of sunday, for 8 dollars an hour, I figured I needed something to make a career with, something I could do for the rest of my life, and never regret it.

However, I have indeed came to a conclusion, and I've decided to make a career as a cop. It's kinda ironic in the long run, from the kid who drinks, smokes, and used to cut school almost once a week before I graduated, has decided to become something he avoided his whole life.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to get some information about the upcoming seminars, and get some information so on and so forth, take some tests.

So this thread is dedicated to information. Because, despite just outright talking to someone about becoming a Police Officer, I figured I'd scrunge up some information beforehand, and not going in their blind as a bat.

And personally, I don't really care if a thread was made like this before, because well, that was their decision in life, not mine. It's not going to be an easy road, but I'm quite positive that if I strive enough to be one, then obliterating a few walls and obstacles would be no challenge right? If it isn't a challenge, then not only is the victory all the more sweeter, but just down right awesome.

And as this thread closes, I've come to the conclusion, to not make this a "hey congratulate me" thread, but a thread to pretty much have some other people interested in helping others gather information online or offline about what they are striving to be, or those who just came to that one crossroad, and is not sure where to go.

I don't know much about being a cop (being so gangster and all), but I really think you would make a nice CPA somewhere, Ed. I think you would work well in charge of money or a group of people, hopefully to help run a successful corporation.

I'm mature... most of the time.

As for the death part...pfft, I'm way too thick headed and arrogant to die.

Eh, like I said on AIM.

I enjoy welding alot, but I'd rather go through life without having the multiple scars on me from burn marks. Over the 3 years I took it in highschool, I've gotten about 4 on my left hand, 2 on my right thigh, and a couple on my ankles.

it's a dangerous job, but a great vocational art to learn. But, it's not something I want to make my life out with.

haha.

I used to do it back in my sophomore year in highschool. Cause my cousin (who shall remain nameless) used to get it from a couple of guys from New york who he went to college with pretty cheap.

But, not something I'd be willing to go to jail for, by having it on me.

Is being kickass a Career?

I tried it. But once you start needing money. It really hits you good :P

[Hatchet Warrior]

That is why you have cronies do it. You were his cronie, no it's your turn to have some. Duh!

[gryph89]

I've been stabbed in the back way too many times to have people do my work for me :P

Look on the brightside though, if I DO become a cop, I can't do anything since you're out of my jurisdiction. But I could put in a bad word or two for you ;)

<3

[HorNeT]

That's awesome man, my dad's a cop and I've always looked up to him because of it.

[Hatchet Warrior]

You don't know my name or where I live.

[gryph89]

You don't know my name or where I live.

Jesse, North Dakota.

It's on the Jackass congress thread :P

Or I could ask you'r little sister. bwahaha!

[Hatchet Warrior]

[gryph89]

I'll be like "I'll show you sexy pictures of me in uniform"

And the girls will be like "oooohhhh"

[HorNeT]

Is that your reason to become a cop? add to your stripper costumes?

[gryph89]

Is that your reason to become a cop? add to your stripper costumes?

No.

[HorNeT]

[Forest_Archer]

I've always looked down upon the police

Not so rare these days. The kids who aren't busy avoiding cops usually become CEOs.

Also, I don't like cops, sorry Ed. Just don't tell me about your cop-ness and I won't have to hate you, deal?

What if I pull some beverly Hills Cop shit? You wouldn't want to hear about that?

[Learz]

Watch Cops, chances are you will be doing what they will be doing.

Don't eat too many donuts. Two dozen a day should be your limit.

Soulja Boy up in it yo!

Nah, not a WHOLE lot goes on in Bayonne. On rare ocassions, there will be some domestic issues, but not alot of gang related stuff.

however, I feel that would change when the LightRail (local train) runs through our town with 3 stops. Cause they all start up in West Side, and Jersey City / union and the rest of there.

in the long run though, would just give the job more excitement.

[Wizzy`]

wtf? cop?

I don't smoke pot anymore.

Superbad get to ya? xD

[meat.eater]

Where did you live that you had todeal with cops for cutting classes? Or smoking?

[gryph89]

Where did you live that you had todeal with cops for cutting classes? Or smoking?

Nah, I was a little bad ass. Cuttin class since 8th grade. Cops grab you for being that young walkin the streets.

And Jersey IS/trying to pass a law, that everyone underage even in a car with an adult, will get a fine for smoking.

[meat.eater]

It wont pass. Nationwide, smoking is not illegal for adolescents. It's not even illegal for them to buy cigarettes. The only thing illegal in the entire process is that cigarettes cant be sold to them.

Just a FYI (I give it 5 years before it spreads accross the nation).

[inked]

You do know that many police stations look at education, community service, multiple language skills, and military experience right?

If you are really serious about this I suggest going to your Navy recruiting station and asking about Reservist Master-at-Arms. Most of them become policemen pretty easily, plus you get a $20,000 signing bonus. If I remember it is a 4 year term. After 8 weeks of bootcamp you go to Virginia Beach (where I am) which is a decent base, but MA's do get it pretty hard. School really isn't long (4 months(ish) including bootcamp) and you learn many skills required for police work. You get military experience, military police experience, and a decent signing bonus.

Look into it.
(If you are afriad of Iraq, don't consider this. Most likely you will spend like a year of your term there. That's my guess not fact.)

[HorNeT]

Good Luck mate, as much as i know, they need cops in the USA, they look for them dramatically.

You don't know very much about America, do you?
