Posted about 1 year ago Hello All, I am very ecstatic to have found this website. It has so much useful information. I served in the Marine reserves in a 81mm mortar platoon for 4 years with a 7 month active duty tour during Desert Storm in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait. Shortley after retiring from the reserves in 93, and still in my early 20's, I started a regular job that I was planning to only work for a year or so to build up some money for me and my wife. One year became two, two became four..you get the picture. Anyway, I found out (on my birthday of all days) that my company, whom I worked for over the last 19 years now, is moving overseas. So yes, I was bummed out. I was promoted many times and my last postion I did was a Health & Safety coordinator. After about a day of sulking, I realized that I may be able to finally follow my dream of becoming a police or correctional officer. So I am pumped! I am 41 now and now preparing for a career in law enforcement. As I mentioned, this site is very helpful. I hope my time in the marines is equivalent to the 2 year active duty requirements needed to be considered. I filled out an application to a police department in Rhode Island and I am scheduled to take the physical fitness test soon. I need all the luck and prayers I can get. Thanks everyone! Rich |

| Posted about 1 year ago Welcome to Police Link, from Ohio!! Best wishes to you!!! I'm slightly confused by something in your Intro. You "Retired" from the Marine Reserves after only 4 years? Was this a Medical Retirement or did you simply mean your term was up? I only ask because it took me 20 years in the Military to Retire :)
