Leaving it behind.

[Joe2017]

Hey Hope, I guess you're going into LE soon. I was LE for a while in TN.

Forget the academy BS. Listen to your FTOs. The only things worth anything from the academy are law, medical, DT, survival, and the range. Everything else is garbage.

Always stop at intersections when code. Always wear your seatbelt.

Make time to see a IC at least once a month if you can.

Never date anyone on the job, even at another station.

Once you are out on your own, use passenger side approach every time you can.

Watch their hands. Learn pre-flight and pre-fight indicators.

If your agency does not supply a TQ, buy your own.

Everyone lies, it's not personal.

Trust your gut, it's always right.

Go home every day.
