For those of you who don't know I have been going through a very slow and strenous application process in order to become an Communications Operator I (Emergency Dispatcher) for the Broward Sheriff's Office I first applied in June (I think...it's been so long...). My first test was in August, which was an audio skills test. I passed that. Today I took the 2nd and 3rd test: Data Entry and Geography and passed with flying colors! I'm so happy!!! The HR recruiter said that if I passed the very extensive background test and polygraph test that I would be offered a postion. So, these next few days I will be busy gathering all sorts of info about me and getting in notarized so they can poke around in my (non)criminal history. Fun fun. And Monday I have an interview for a completely different job, doing Office Support at Broward's Emergency Managment Agency(these are the people who prepare, plan, and anticipate disasters such as hurricanes).
On another note (but related to jobs/careers) I oddly enough having been thinking about joining the military. I say "oddly" because I've always been very opposed to the idea. But recently I have been thinking of all the benefits that come with being in the armed forces: honor, discipline, physical fitness, job security, advancement, etc. The thing is, I don't want to move every 2-5 years, so I've been thinking about joining the Air Force Reserve in which I would have to serve 1 weekend a month and 2 weeks during the year. I emailed a recruiter to give me more information. I also have to see how everything is going to play out with my interviews.

Good luck on the BSO job!!! I'm not big on military but if it does good for you, go for it.
Thanks! I really would like the job at BSO. I want it even more now that I have worked so hard and waited so long for the position. I never was big on the military either, but I'm realizing they definitely have an important function in our society and it something that I think with my natural skills and abilites I would be very good at.
