The past few weeks have been rather crazy at NCI. We finally got all of the inmates shipped back out to Pamlico. The downside is they are bringing 95 more inmates in from Hyde correctional this coming week. They were only there for about 3 weeks. It seemed so much longer. Lucky for me, I starting training tomorrow and I'll be there for a month. Which means 1 whole month of working day shift. The main thing I'm gonna look forward to is only having to drive 28 miles to work instead of 72. Big difference.
Once training is finished, I'll be putting my transfer in to the close custody facility closer to home. Its gonna be a huge difference from where I work right now. Sometimes I ask myself if I'm ready to be in fights every day with the risk of getting hurt. Sometimes i call myself crazy and even stupid for wanting to go there. But, life is all about trying new things.
I went to Richmond last week for my interview. All went well from what I can tell. I was asked to sign a conditional offer and allowed to move ahead in the process. Next step I have to take is taking a polygraph test. I know I will have no problem passing it. I'm trying to be optimistic about this entire thing and not get my hopes up just in case I don't get the job. Something can always go wrong. But, I also know that this is an amazing opportunity. One that I would be crazy to pass up.
Sounds like you had a very good start to your training...Cant wait to hear about your range time
