End of Week 20

I'm about a week behind. Week 19 wasn't too exciting. Monday we had grade crossing accident investigation and HAZ-MAT. Tuesday we had the day off for Veterans day. Wednesday we had NCIC (National Crime Information Center) and MCT (Mobile Computer Terminal). We also had our 10th exam. It got an 87%. They posted our grades before this test and I am in 3rd. Thursday we had Child Abuse and Critical Incident Team. Then on Friday we did our Crime Scene practicals. I had a different role in each of the 3 scenes. I was the detective, then I was the photographer, then I was the Supervisor.

That weekend (Nov. 14-16), Justin and I went to KC for the weekend. We figured it would be our last chance to get out of town together for a while. I got to eat at Manny's. We went to Bass Pro Shop and the Legends Mall.

Week 20 (Nov. 17-21) - Monday we were out at the range. We did some stuff with the shotgun, but most of the day we did handgun drills. Tuesday, in the morning we had NIMS (National Incident Management System). Then in the afternoon we were back at the range. We got to do a tactical course. That was fun. We got to use cover, transition from shotgun to handgun, drag a body, and shoot multiple targets on the move. Then we got to use the $50K simulator downstairs at the range that only works every now and then. Luckily for me it works when I was down there. It was tons of fun and I got to yell at a screen in an empty room. Then I got to shoot some people. Wed. we had Interview and Interrogation practicals. We just got to do more interviews from the Crime Scene practical from last Friday. Then we had our classroom portion of Active Shooter training. Thursday we had Crime Prevention, Conceal and Carry, and Drug Test Kits. Then on Friday we got to go back to Longfellow for Active Shooter training. This training was lots of fun, very stressful, but fun. When we got to our sim scenarios at the end of the day, I only got shot once...in the ass, again.
