Well said coconut!! very true words you speak
as was said before, and from my experience- both as a veteran, and a current Field Training Officer:
Vets are (and should be) welcomed in most depertments that I know of
They have much more respect for life, rank, seniority, people, etc etc etc.
There is a breed of new college kid out there that thinks they deserve everything in the world because they got a piece of paper that says they went to school.....YIPPIE
They have no concept of what its like to earn experience, and to be rewarded with great friendships and life skills through life thretening situations.
If you are the college kid that doesnt fit this description, Then Good for you. I just know what I see, and say it as I see it- I have my college degree, and sat in classrooms with others. I also EARNED my VETERAN status, and hold that in much higher regards than my college degree-
URGH---I could go on and on about this one!!!!!
Go take the police test- If you are in my area- let me know - I'll take you on a ride along- and show you the difference between a college degree and a DD-214!!
GOOD LUCK- hope you find what you want!!
