Thanks! No force as of yet. I am self sponsored. Where I live in California, the local agencies aren't hiring unless you lateral in,graduated the academy or are currently enrolled. So it is a gamble to an extent. I am hopeful though!Good luck.
What force?
Yes it is a bit quiet hiring wise. This particular academy allows me to still hold a job as I attend. It's tough, it is a bit of a culture shock but I am surviving. We have lost 7 so far and it has only been a week. I will try and keep you all up to date on my experiences and progress!You must be in a quiet area of Cali. Because all including (mine) is hiring. We can not find qualified individuals. We just started our first academy in 4 plus years. We already had two quit in the first week, one within 4 hours!
