| Posted over 2 years ago I posted this looking for any advice from the people I respect. That is you, thestugots01, and any other officer past or present. The one thing I ask is that you do not judge my commitment based on how much I use an internet forum. |

Bump. Stay awhile, and learn all you can from your instructors and all of us. The LEOs here range from shiny-boots rookies to grizzled vets - a lot of good advice from everywhere. |

| Posted over 2 years ago Make as many contacts (other cadets) as possible. Networking is key in LE work. E-mail addresses, phone numbers ,etc. Not only is it a great tool for infomation, it's alway good to hear how everyone else is doing.
