Today was the first day of training. And in true Kevin fashion, I managed to do something dumb and show up an hour early. But hey, punctual is a good thing right? Even if stupidity isn't. The day started out with them drilling it into our heads that they hate for people to be late/tardy etc. yet someone still managed to be late after the first break that was given. That's just from a lack of caring. The rest of the day was filled with policies and procedures. Most of the training will have a lot of that. I did find the excessive and lethal force section pretty interesting. There are some things you just don't think about till you have the policy explained to you by someone who knows and understands it. It definitely made me feel more knowledgeable in when are the correct times to use lethal and non lethal force and the policies that guide those decisions. We went over several other topics as well but that was the one that i showed the most interest in.
People at NCI don't realize just how good they have it. Me included in that list. After hearing how other officers are treated at other facilities it makes me so happy to work at Nash. Some people never get a break the whole shift. Some have to stand the entire shift. All the facilities had different stories and ways they were run. Just makes you appreciate how good you have it when you hear how much worse it could be.
Tomorrow were gonna be doing handcuffs and restraints and then working with the handguns the rest of the day. Like any guy should be, I'm looking forward to that and then being on the range all day on Wednesday. Hope everyone had a great Monday and a great start to their week. Now its time for me to go and shine my boots, press my uniform and study my notes.
