As some of you may remember last week I took a test to be a police officer. I'm sorry to inform you guys I didn't make the cut. I was 2 points shy of moving to the next part of the process.

At first I went in thinking what do I have to lose. But now, they've already told me they want my to try out again. You now what I'm going to go through it again, and this time I will pass.

It's too bad I've got to wait basically forever to go through it again.

But I never miss twice.

Holla!

Don't feel too bad


My Uncle trained and underwent personal investigations for 2 years to become a DEA agent-- he failed the physical test because he couldn't run the mile under the exact time they wanted (he was 10 seconds over or something like that)

At first it looked like he would have to start over from the BEGINING of the process (including the background checks etc) but they saw real potential in him and appointed an agent to work with him until he could pass the physical test-- which he finally did.

I'm sure things will work out great for you!

Sorry to hear that.

That said, you have the right attitude and I'm sure your positiveness to this setback will stand you well in your future career! I admire your determination.

2 points....ouch.

That's pretty close (I think).

Ah well, you know the old saying:

"If first you don't succeed, try and try again."

2 points? That must really suck. Don't give up.

I'm sorry you didn't make it this time...but like others have already said, you've got the right attitude. :) If it's any consolation, it took me three tries to get my drivers' license!

I'm sorry, especially since it was sooo close :( But buck up. Keep trying and I know you'll make it into the force. But if you ever see me on the road... just pretend I wasn't speeding, and carry on ;)

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. :)

Best of luck when you try again. I'm sure you'll make it, seeing as you know some of what to expect now. ;)
