[boxden]

[bwaltman90]

congrats brah

when do you start?

[MrSilverback]

Good luck. Depending on the state the academy could be the most trying, stressful, and awful experience of your life.

I applied in my state 2 years ago. Didn't get selected despite scoring high on everything.

[Bigdumogre]

Welcome aboard. Your life has now changed lol u will see

[sasclm25]

when will it be mine turn?


jk, congrats



how long was the process, from the initial application to the written offer?

From when I first tested to when I enter the academy this summer, almost 2 years.

[sasclm25]

congrats brah

when do you start?

Start in 2 months. Excited/nervous.

[MrSilverback]

Should be. SP academies are usually no joke lol.

All I can say is stick with it. I tried out for 3 city departments and scored extremely well and never made it past the oral board. This time for state, almsot 1000 applied and they took around 80 and I got it.

[sasclm25]

Should be. SP academies are usually no joke lol.

Yeah, this one is supposed to be rough. I think 20 failed/dropped out in the last class but it should be tough. I workout 5 days a week and run 3 miles 3-4 times a week but I doubt anything can compare you for the academy.

[Bassackwards]

in on super troopers thread

[ymer]

lol how can that be your dream job? enforcing the ruling of your lords.

[tonyw13]

F the police

[sasclm25]

lol how can that be your dream job? enforcing the ruling of your lords.

Protecting and serving the community. Wanted to do it since I was a little kid.

Over 30 people got eliminated or quit in mine of 150 people

[Sullivan0930]

Have fun slamming all the sloots you pull over.

Thats not bad lol. My state averages around 40-50% dropout.

[629]

Troopers around here are known to be some hard nosed pricks. OP will you be a nice guy?

[PervedOut]

I know a "certain" state that just finished testing and a trooper school. mirin (possibly)

[Lendogg]

Good luck with the academy brah! SP academy around here is tough as phuck according to the trooper that lives in my neighborhood

[_Aggression_]

I applied to my state's state police the past 2 times. This year, we had just under 10,000 applicants after the initial app. I passed the physical and written, but among the few thousand remaining, I have yet to be chosen for this year's 2 academies. Still a chance though. Our drop out rate is high. The classes try to start with 150 or so with the expectation that maybe 100 graduate, if they're lucky.

Best of luck, bro. As far as I'm concerned, the hardest part is getting the offer/being accepted into the academy. From there, its all on you to finish the job. You control your destiny. Respect.

[PizzaForCutting]

Are you naturally inclined to be the biggest douchebag known to humanity or are they going to put you through training for it first?


Srsly, one of my best friends became a trooper. I still hate him for it.

[retiredrunner]

Good luck bro, if you pull over a guy for speeding and he has a Bert bumper sticker you know what to do

[Noxema]

What are your qualifications? MP? Criminal justice degree?

[OutdoorBrah]

you got offered a state trooper position? How exactly do you become a state trooper, I thought you had to apply or something?

[1cav]

Over 30 people got eliminated or quit in mine of 150 people

learn to spell Cavalry in your sig.

[PervedOut]

Majority of recruits dont even lift.

I think MI requires you are able to run min. of 5 miles before assigment to the school and should be an "above average" swimmer. good luck dave man
