Im hoping that after i retire i can get on with the Seattle PD. they have a NICE payscale.

Oh man...I love me some comabt landings. Its a fun ride. I remember I was on a flight that had no seats...so I had a lanurd from my belt to the deck. It was just me and battle (2 man mission)...epmty bird...crew member comes up to me...makes sure my lanurd is secured...bird nose dives. My weapon starting floating and my ass started coming off the deck. Greatest ride in the word ha


Good luck on that man...it is very competative. 3000 applied for the state police job...they have widdle us down to 100. They are hiring 80 so my odds are good...still not 1005 yet tho!
