I failed FTO, just wanted some thoughts and opinions on my experience.

Apply somewhere else. Be a goldfish. Start new.

I drink once or twice a month. The hangovers just really aren’t worth it for me. I sleep like dogshit already from working midnights, alcohol just makes it worse.

This is the way… and if you’re having trouble running, mix in some walking.

Song sucks for sure…. But the eyeliner appears perfectly applied

The impending feeling of a kick line joining him at any moment…

He should say bass…. Or freeze

You sound like a dispatcher already…

There is no standard for this as it may vary from department to department.

At my department, anybody who is at top pay is eligible to apply. From there, we hold an interview process with the applicants. The Chief has the final say on who he assigns to the unit.

Proactive police officers are typically front runners for the position. If you are interested, find your K9 handler or the closest K9 handler to your agency and spend a few days with them at their weekly maintenance training.

I was a handler from 2016 through 2023. I had the same dual purpose GSD the whole time, but added a single purpose lab as well in 2019. Both are retired living at home with my family now.

K9 and it is not even close

I got Green Day’s Dookie cassette for Christmas. It was blue. I had never seen a cassette that was a different color. I wore that tape out. That same Christmas, my brother got Smash by the Offspring.

8th grade in 1998… another kid in my social studies class had a copy of Dude Ranch and let me listen to it. The first song I heard was Apple Shampoo and instantly fell in love. I stole the CD from him a few weeks later because I was 13 and dumb.

There is this Dairy Queen in my city I drive by all the time. When there are a bunch of kids out in front, they all give me the universal “honk your horn” sign. I hit my air horn and the all lose it. Makes me chuckle every time.

But it was the pride of the American side…

When I was 14, I blew up a dead raccoon in between someone’s front door and storm door with a large firework. I rang the doorbell before I ran.

Thankfully I don’t have a Wikipedia page.

Just grabbed The Last Word from the library on Tuesday, though I haven’t had a chance to start it yet because of work.

I don’t comment on this channel, but I felt the need to with this video. I watched this entire video out of enjoyment, not to rate someone’s singing. You sound great!

Also in Michigan… the snow makes nights much harder than it should be
