Well, last week started off pretty boring but ended really cool. We had our 4th exam on Monday. I covered that in my last blog. It ended up getting an 87%. They finally posted the class grades. I am #2 in class right behind my car pool buddy. She only has me by .3 points though. There are about 5 of us that are within 1 point of each other. I will have to stay on my game to maintain my GPA. Right now it is 91.5.
Tuesday we had a class on weapons of mass destruction. Pretty interesting, but for the most part I knew a lot about that because I watch a lot of military shows. We also had some more attorneys in for some classes...Use of Legal Force, Title 3 (Drinking Laws). Then Wednesday afternoon we had the gang unit in. I didn't know squat about gang activity, but after their presentation I know kind of what to look for. Also, it put another check mark on the side of never wanting to have kids.
Then Thursday and Friday morning we were out at the gun range. We were issued our weapons. I get to carry a 40 caliber Glock. Then Friday afternoon we got to go out to the bomb range. The WPD Bomb range is out in BFE. Basically you go to the Viola intersection at K42 and take 111th street west to the county line. They bbq'd some burgers and brats for us. Then we got a nice PowerPoint presentation that had some pretty gory pictures that I, of course, couldn't look at. Then they took us down range and blew some stuff up.
This week we are at the gun range doing our handgun practicals. Yesterday we went thru 300 rounds each. Not sure what we shot today, but it was alot. My hands are killing me. When I am done here I'm gonna go soak my hands in ice water. I have blisters on 4 fingers. By Friday I will know if I qualified. This week is pretty much do or die. If I can't shoot the course, I'm out of the class. No pressure though. I'll be out of town all weekend so I will catch everyone up on Monday night when I get back in town. Have a good holiday weekend.
