Never argue with an idiot. They will bring you down to there level and beat you on experience.

I can't drink that stuff anymore
Drank a bottle and a half about 5 yrs ago, haven't touched it since.
When this happened it was just like I drank it a few hours ago. So I've been staying away from it since.
But my new love is Johnny Walker Blue. having a glass now!
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!

I had fruit punch once at a friend's birthday, I was driving so I thought I'd do the right thing. Well I staggered out of the door at 2am and
all over the front garden. They had put gin, vodka and midori into the punch.
Fruit punch turns my stomach still. 
. . . and????? There's a problem, now you know why I didn't get anywhere with Thrasher, he's a Mormon.

Yeah me and my buddies used to drink the Non-Alcoholic stuff for breakfast. People would give us weird looks. It was funny.
They did that with us but some of us got smart and added real stuff to it to make it last! Worked out great.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.

LOL ~ the Aussies had VB beer and Thrasher enjoyed their attempts in teaching him to play cricket. We don't drink Fosters by the way, that's just a marketing ploy!!!
I remember they used to sell beer with 1%, but no sure if they still do. It was the only light beer we had 20 years ago, you drank 6 of them and you'd be pi**ing all night. Shocking stuff.
But any port in a storm they say!!!!

I see we've gone to the well and back on this thread... Glad everyone made Mr. lechleidner feel right at home.
Mr. lechleider, I am a law enforcement officer. I have been such for about 13 years now. I have also been a businessman. I feel I have an interesting perspective.
I hold a BS in Business Administration from a North Central Association accredited university, and have attended The Walton Institute and Heartland intensive business management schools. I have served in upper divisional management with the largest grocery distribution company in the world ($33 Billion gross revenue), where I directly and indirectly supervised some 380 "taxpaying" employees, and I have founded, successfully operated, and sold a transportation company which generated gross revenues of about 3.6 million dollars annually.
I have quite the sense of humor, just ask these present at LEF.
You asked if we felt you had a chance to make it in law enforcement, given your past. None of us honestly knows with certainty. Should someone with a misdemeanor criminal history be disqualified from law enforcement? Perhaps. If such history shows a lack of credibility, a propensity for violence, or a deficiency in moral turpitude on the part of the applicant, I would say that it should. Conviction for possessing a fake identification, etc. is a call for the agency which you are applying to more than a call that can be made by someone in an online forum. As you are so far into the process with the agency you have applied to, I'd say your questions will be answered by that agency soon enough.
You have obviously taken offense to some of the ribbing that you have recieved here, and perhaps that your quick reflexes in taking the defensive serve as an insight into your personality type. Many of us in this line of work have learned sarchasm as a means by which to deal with the horrors of the brutal reality that we must often face. There are those here on this forum who have faced challenges which would make the common businessman retreat into his Blackberry, never to return to reality.
I appreciate your father's service to this country, but I remind you, that belongs to him. My father co-authored the most comprehensive and sweeping occupational safety legislation ever adopted by the federal government, (OSHA). He was an internationally recognized expert in labor laws, unions, mediation, and regulatory issues, I was an expert in nothing more than being his kid.
All this being said, without the courtesy of an introduction (see the section "Introduce Yourself"), you chose to ask opinions here, and when you were subjected to what I honestly would consider some honest, if not biting, wit, you chose to respond in angrily.
Sir, if you cannot excersize deeper calm self-control in a forum with people whom you cannot even see, I would think that a law enforcement career would serve as an insurmountable challenge for you. In law enforcement, many in this world will hate and openly revile you, for no other reason than the badge that you wear and the establishment that you represent.
I invite you to remain respectful of the men and women of this forum. If one of them finds your posts amusing, laugh with them. Appreciate their humor as a means by which to unceremoniously welcome you, if not challenge your verocity.
