i wanna say they split it up into 3rds, my arrival time was 10 and didn't leave till 12:30 0r 1

the thing about mo. state is they start you out cheap and you sign a contract where you can't go anywhere else for 2 years. starting pay in 2003 was like 27 grand a year

wayne:hello:

yeah i didnt see anything about a contract but yea pay is def. less than IL on the pay front. But that contract thing kinda worries me. I guess I'll cross that bridge when/if it comes up. But I like how MO lays the entire process out all the way till when you would start the academy. Im in waiting hell with like 3 departments right now.

i think probationary officers start at 36k a year so hey I'll take it. theres always overtime for a young single no children guy. For the academy training and experience it really cant hurt and its better than the bank. :tup:

from what i understood, they don't want somebody going through there 6 month program and then walking out for a better paying position. then they also give you three choices of part of the state on where you want to go

see thats what I always worry about. I know depts have to protect their investments. I mean if I got a job with MO but then my local town offered me the job it would be hard... like a 10k pay bump and i live in the town already....

but on the Flip side MO state would allow me to do more and probably more federal connections which is where I want to be eventually anyway.

I do wonder if you get a take home car with MO. You do in IL....
It would be nice to not have to drive the Z.

As long as I got either STL, COMO or Cape, I'd be a happy camper. If I took STL, I could move out by all you guys.....it would make meets easier..

you do get a brand new cruiser after your ride along training is up

:happydance:

now Im excited!!
but my 6 month training would start in Jan. 2013....:mad:

thats rough, mine was october

just read over an email I got from MO State. yep 3 year contract or you must pay a prorated expense of training and equipment.....

thats def. something to think about...

They changed it then, it was two before

What about border patrol

tested back in november in Chicago. Got a 86 on the test and language proficiency test

havent heard anything since I got my scores

US Marshals is opening up on March 5 for like 48 hours or first 5000 applications
so Ill be staying up late on that sunday and try to be one of the first.
My parents go to church with the head Marshal in the southern IL district and he has given me a tour so that might help but like I said, first opportunity that comes up will probably get a yes from me. Beggars cant be choosers.

its more than I can say for some other people on this site if you catch my drift....:tup:

We to to plan the 3rd sunday in march:stirthepot:

Red of you like N!ggas in Paris and mizzou you will love this..
I'm on tapa talk so I can't imbed.
Love the part with the coach saying when mizzou is on they are unstoppable. So all you can do is hope they aren't "on"
