Academy Experience
It feels good to be home again...I just finished my three week period at the SCCJA academy for Basic Jail and it was a long three weeks. Now next year Imma have to do 9 weeks when I try out for patrol. the food was straight until I ate their damn fish sammich. I never thought I could crap soo much in my life lol. I was bored as shit tho especially in learning law that pertains to the jail. OMG I was surprised that police have 4 straight weeks of that down here before they do anything else. Hows was everyone else academy experience?

Our academy is 6 months long...M-S (0700-0500 or so...depending on what fun we were having that day). Then onto 4 months of FTO training. Joy. Not that bad...academy was easy...FTO was frustrating at times but I survived.
