the community college is not that hard to go to, send them my info a copy of my GED and my scores and their sites and papers say they give scholarships for scores over 2850 and above i scored a 3040 which is enough to get a full 2 year scholarship... not that bad eh? lol
my background is clean i do have some Suspended Imposition of Sentences on me though but i am trying to work with the prosecuter on getting this stuff cleared up. waiting on a letter. if not i have to wait till february to get it off.

"Suspended imposition of sentences" is not a clean background. Check your math.

I didn't see the above until now, yeah military sounds like a good start, a GED alone will be a hard sell at most departments, even the small towns.
Your in Kansas right? Ever think of heading South to Oklahoma? Agencies here are always hiring, OHP (Oklahoma Highway Patrol) for one. Also the smaller cities and towns here are a good foot in the door. You could always go back to KS after a couple years down here on a later transfer.
You may also want to look at CBP (Customs and Border Protection) and USBP (United States Border Patrol) they are hiring go online and have a look. It's a foot in, even if it's not your cup of tea.Just because your sign off after you're shift is done, doesn't mean that it's over and put blinders on. You're a cop 24/7 wether you like it or not. If thats something you can't handle, you should find a new line of work!
