update on police academy

Just wanted to thank those for the congrats they left on steph's facebook page, im not necessarily in the clear yet- registering for post just means now i have to pass a very extensive background test and another round of physical tests, i didnt have much time to prep for this round like i did for sandy, so i dont expect to pass as well as i did at the sandy tests, but im confident. after that i have 5 months of training- classes are from 8 to 5 during the week and then i work from 6 to midnight, which is a voluntary cut in work hours, so we get to look forward to no time with the family except weekends and a smaller paycheck- it will definatly test us. then i can only pray the economy picks up enough that the job market will produce a few more open positions. but like i said, im confident and this is the opportunity i've been waiting for.

Yay.

Mike is finally getting into the P.O.S.T. program at Weber State. :)
DWFS has given Mike the grant that will pay for post which is about $4800. Whooo hoo thank heavens for grants. He is already registered for class and the physical testing is on the 28th of this month and class begins on April 6th. (which also happens to be my moms birthday) so that will be a good day. The course runs 5 months and covers both moduels..

Module 1 - Special Functions Officer/Basic Corrections Officer (SFO/BCO) Curriculum provides training for certification as a Special Functions Officer/Auxiliary Officer and Corrections Officer.

Module 2 - Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Curriculum provides the remaining training necessary for certification of an officer with full police powers. [Entry requirements for Module 2 include certification as a Corrections, or Special Functions Officer (completion of Module 1 - SFO/BCO)]

We are very excited that Weber State is offering the combine class. If we went to any other school it would take 10 months.

Good luck babe! We're proud of you
