Now it has sunk in.  Even getting my code book, department operations manual, etc.  Getting sworn in by the Mayor.  Filling out all my paperwork.  It still hadn’t sunk in yet.  Today I put on the uniform for the first time and it definitely sunk in.

    I also understand now why on my ride-alongs in the past, my friend kept his car so freezing cold.  This uniform is hot as can be.    So it’s official now.  Gun in holster, radio tuned in, and all sweated … err suited … up.

I am very nervous.  This will definitely be a diffucult next few months.  I know I can do it though, and do it well.
