Rollin, rollin, rollin; keep them Mounties rollin'!

Another call today... this time the recruiting officer called to let me know that they had reviewed my selection interview (all is well) and it's now time to book the polygraph. March 30th. (My neice's birthday, coincidentally!)

I am a fundamentally honest person. to the point of stopping at red lights at 4 am when I am the only car for a bazillion miles. Why the hell am I so nervous about the stupid polygraph?? Click me! Click me, too!

PASSED!!!!!

BooYAH!!

Just got back from Calgary... 3 1/2 hours in the process from start to finish, but I got it done, and I'm moving on to the polygraph!

I was a little weak in some areas, but I got through it.

I would like to get into it a little more about what it was like, but the Official Secrets Act says I can't, along with a statement I had to sign promising not to talk about it. I could tell you, but then I'd have to shoot you! :P

Nerves!

My interveiw is tuesday morning. I wasn't nervous before. I am now.

I've done it before. I have the experience to be a top drawer recruit. I can do this. I am going to kick its ass. I am going to kick its ass. I am going to kick its ass!

A bitter anniversary

Today is March 3rd, the one year anniversary of the murder of 4 young officers of the Mayerthorpe and Whitecourt detachments of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, near Rochfort Bridge, Alberta. Please take a moment today to pause and remember these men, who gave their lives in the service of all Canadians so that we can enjoy a peaceful and safe society. Please leave your porch lights on tonight as a symbol of remeberance, as well, please call or EMail your MP and ask for their support for judicial reform, so that habitual and career criminals are kept where they belong, in jail.

In eternal gratitude:
Cst. Brock MYROL

They shall not grow old,
As we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun,
And in the morning;
We will remember them.
