Dasiyman, some years back, lets say close to 20 years ago, I was riding with a brand new recruit Trooper. Nice enough kid, but really struggling to get with the little things. You know, showing up for work early instead of 5-10 minutes late, writing descriptions in reports you could understand, spelling (pre-auto correct days) big words like "store", "vehicle" and "witness", putting the keys to the Troop car where someone else could actually find them, not running the car out of gas and not filling it up, answer the phone when it rang, you know, the little stuff. Mind you this was just after we'd changed to having to have some college credits instead of just a high school diploma or, (shudder!), GED. So, being the kind, fatherly figure I am, I asked him what his background was. He proceeded to begin to tell me his lifes story. I got him to fast forward to between highschool and the present moment. "Oh, I went to college." "Uh-huh", says I. "And how long were you in college?" "4 years, why?", says he. I wondered, "Did you ever work?" He got a puzzled look on his face. "You know, a job?" He replies, "Well, I worked one night at a pizza shop. It was awful." That told me pretty much all I needed to know and I counseled him on just what was expected of him now that he was a great big boy with a real gun and badge and paycheck and guys that were depending on him to be to work on time and to back them up when things went south and to carry his own weight and not act like some sissy boy putz.
