Good luck Streetking. Might be good to know that if there's something you just can't get the hang of, you have MANY here who will help you. Ditto to Norman and Jack.
Keep safe and have fun.

The Chief plans to handle them the same way you spoke about. There is allways some "politcal" issues within the dept. Mandatory Physicals weed a few out. They just refused to take them.
