Quoting ANCFlyer (Reply 6): One tad bit of advice . . . the round hoop-like device on your duty gear is for holding flashlights or a night stick . . . .

Thanks everyone.....this is a huge thing here. The way the inspector explained it....about 10000 apply every year....200 make it to selecion and they hire about 75 a year.....i am one of 28 this time.
It was the hardest job i have ever applied for. Not sure if anyone has ever experiences a 5 question 3.5 hour interview....

Sometimes all you can do is look them in the eye and ask " how much did your mom drink when she was pregnant with you?"
Damn right. It's a narrow field of applicants at the end, to be able to say, "I made it" is a damn fine accomplishment. One of which you can be justly proud . . .
