Who is lacking the most power as of now?

Hello, so I am in a weird situation with this now. I am set to EOD Sep 8th for BP with El Paso as my duty station.

The police agency in the city I live in is now taking apps for the next two weeks and I know I can get in. I would be starting at 73k with experience which I have and they offer a decent residency bonus for housing.

I am currently living in a house with my mother and the station is actually a 10 minute walk from our house.

Right now I don't know what to do. We live in the Midwest and I would have been relocating from here to Texas after the academy.

Has anybody ever seen a department TL get fired? If so why?

Hello, Is there grace period between completing the academy and reporting to your duty station? I live in the Midwest and would obviously be relocating to the southwest and would need to return home to pack stuff in a U-Haul and move.

What made you just be done with the Guard?

Which are the best and worst apartments to live in NWI including the town location?

Been thinking about this lately and what retention is like for other nations. When I was overseas I saw Polish Greek Germans Bosnian troops and they all looked happy and chill compared to the US Army. They had beards and way more lax standards and not a look of dread in their eyes.

Why do many say this is the worst way to become an officer compared to the other commissioning sources?

Hello, a department is hiring in my neighboring town but they want 10 references for the application. I legit don't have 10 people. Only 4 I can use at the most.

Should I email their HR and just ask if they really need that or would that be stupid to do? Or should I just not even apply to them?

Hello, I am not sure if this is true but if you re hired in as a 9/11 instead of a 5/7 you can skip taking the entrance exam and continue on with the other steps? is this true?

If you served your six year contract with an honorable discharge?

I went to school for IT and honestly regret it now. I want to do an MBA in the future but I was wondering if business bachelor degree folk are having a hard time too?
