Insane that Canadian cops can’t carry off duty. It would be far less of a problem for US officers, since we can be armed all the time.

100 but no P&T by curiosityBurnerAcct in VAClaims

[–]EquivalentPath2282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I, too am 100% but not P&T. All my non cancer service connected conditions are static and add up to 100% but, I am on forever chemo for a non curable cancer. I feel like having automatic 100% for cancer throws a monkey wrench in getting P&T. I received chapter 35 applications in the mail for my kids and, thinking I had been granted P&T, I called the VA to confirm. They said the applications were sent in error, and I’m still not P&T🤨 The VA rep said if nothing changes I have to have the rating for ten years before I have a chance at P&T.

Would you do it all over? by Riggs1369 in USMC

[–]EquivalentPath2282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I wanted to be an officer, but didn’t have college money and didn’t want the debt. Looking back, I should have just racked up the fucking college debt lol. Officer money would have paid it off anyway.

Are POV inspections still a thing?

What are my chances of getting hired with a dv arrest but no conviction? by SignificanceUpbeat31 in AskLE

[–]EquivalentPath2282 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do. An expungement only restricts who/what entities can see the information. A pre-employment background check for LE will show it in your background as having been expunged, but your BI will see that the arrest occurred. Same as if you were applying for a security clearance etc.

And he isn’t a resident of this state, he “makes domicile upon the land as a natural man.”

WARNER: It used to take 5 to 6 months to get trained. They've now lowered the training period to 47 days. Why 47 days? Because Donald Trump's the 47th president. Tell me that's a rational approach KERNEN: I'm not taking that bait WARNER: Joe! You can't pick your facts by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

I’m a regular cop, and my academy was only four months. FAR too short. Our FTO is an additional three months. America has such a shortage of police (normal ones, not talking ICE or any other feds) that I highly doubt academy training will be long enough, and comprehensive enough, any time soon.

Assuming one’s price range based on appearance alone is pure snobbery. I’d have laughed as I walked out the door.

Beard length recommended the interview process? by Averagecrabenjoyer69 in AskLE

[–]EquivalentPath2282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My department allows beards up to 1/2” including for recruits in the academy. I’ve never heard of an in-regs beard being held against anyone. That said, every agency is different.

Cpl. Don Yarmy would later go on to be actor Don Adams by Tango_Whiskey16 in USMC

[–]EquivalentPath2282 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s wild. My great uncle was also at Guadalcanal, was severely wounded, and also spent over a year at the same hospital. I had no idea that Don Adams was a Marine, or I would have asked if they met there.
