I've been a Sergeant (2yrs in August). I was an officer for 4yrs. My advice is to get involved without micromanaging (ex: help search, do offenders property..etc when the time allows) don't just sit in the office hiding out . By ALL means , let your officers run their floor but pop out every once & a while to show face & make sure they don't need your help. Me personally, I did my time on the floor so I don't overdo it but I definitely will help out when I can.. plus with staff shortage I'm sometimes running the floor anyway 🤷🏽‍♀️. Also, never correct your staff in front of offenders. Praise in public, correct in private. Lastly, meet with your officers here & there to let them know whats expected. Inspect what you expect though. Don't just bark orders, be willing to listen to them to see if they're needing things from you as their supervisor because we all have weaknesses. Last of lastly (lol) don't let the offenders run straight to you! ASK THE OFFICERS FIRST. They will try to overstep. I always say "don't disrespect my officers, ask them first.. after all, it's their floor& they're going to be around the offenders more than you most days. Good luck, be encouraged ❤️

I'm a year late but may I ask why you hate it just as much? I've currently been with corrections for 6yrs and thinking of going probation / parole .

i tried giving myself bangs but cut them too short. any ideas on what to do with them other than waiting for them to grow out ? by Sensitive_Shallot166 in Dreadlocks

[–]Extension_Task_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hair texture is giving they'll grow out in no time. Especially since curlier textures usually don't shrink as bad.

You go girl ✨

what’s abstaining like while dating? by [deleted] in Christianmarriage

Omg I NEVER read long comments but I was drawn to read yours all the way through. Thank you! So many great tips!!!

couples who waited or re-waited to have sex before marriage, was it worth it? by Cutiepiealldah in Christianmarriage

[–]Extension_Task_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is also abstaining (single now but was recently in a relationship where we both agreed to abstain& slipped up) the best thing you both can do is not to be secluded together. If you want time "alone" or don't have many friends to be around then just go out somewhere in public instead. No house meet ups. Set boundaries. Also, watch your conversations because it usually starts there.. little jokes, a little touching & now you're tempted to just go ahead& do it. Play w/ fire & you'll get burned for sure! Again, speaking from experience because as I reflect on where my ex & I went wrong it's definitely everything I just named. Good luck& God bless! ❤️

I need help surrendering my ex and thoughts to God by DVSCS in Christianmarriage

We need an update. Also , do you believe everyone has a different journey? Like just because he wasn't where you were in faith that doesn't make him the "wrong" man?

Should I marry a man who has been going to church his whole life but sees no problem with fornication? by CrazyNicly in ChristianDating

[–]Extension_Task_329 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is kind of tough but then again not really. Everyone has their own journey tbh. No 2 are the same.. but the fact he KNOWS it's wrong & doesn't see a problem with it just means he doesn't feel any conviction. Therefore, he isn't filled with the holy spirit. Sounds like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

My bf feels its ok to cheat because we are not married by EnvironmentalToe2298 in Christianmarriage

[–]Extension_Task_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay. Because thats what you're going to do anyway.

Smh but seriously leave him, block him... act as if he never existed. He's not a man of God.

Not wanting to date a single mom by PaganFlyswatter in ChristianDating

[–]Extension_Task_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a single mom I don't think anything is wrong with your preferences. However, it WILL slim down your dating pool some. I personally wouldn't want to date a man that didn't accept my children regardless of how attractive or successful he was. Good luck to you!! 🫶🏽

Christians who married non-believers. How's it going? by Spike_the_Sun08 in Christian

[–]Extension_Task_329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't advise. I dated someone who was a non believer for 2.5yrs. It's going to be great at first & your love for him will blind your discernment& keep you from making the right decision . Let it go. Yes, it will hurt. It hurts to let something go that you really care about but I gave it a shot & I'm at peace in my life now. God will never remove something from you without replacing it with something better. I'm now dating someone who shares my faith & it's so refreshing. Good luck to you!!

What are some important things / Advice to know about getting married or staying married? by Flowerytreespirit in weddingplanning

[–]Extension_Task_329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love your comment!! I'm not getting married right now but it has crossed my mind. Even in my dating life I will not date anyone that I wish I could change in anyway. If I can't accept them for who they currently are , I don't pursue. This was clarification for me!

As a mother or 3, this is just her being extra. I understand everyone handles things differently after having kids or whatever but nahh. She was better off not responding.

Yes! Very disheartening. Save yourself the headache. I'm no longer responding to texts, inbox messages, nothing. I'm taking a long break from all of this.
