Ok, here is where i'm just going ot ramble on for a few mins. I'm in my 7th week of Conservation Enforcement at the Atlantic Police Academey in PEI. I have a room inspection tomorrow where the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR of the program will be walking arounf and inspecting our rooms. This is pretty serious shit... becasue if ANYTHING is wrong or out of place, it'll be "A baaaaaaad week" and i'll be "In a world of hurt and pain". Well that's how they put it to us anyways. I'm not too sure what they mean, but likely COnfined ot barracks for the duration of the course, and lots and lots of pushups. So i'd rather not invison those two scenarios. Other than that, our whole squad got PEPPER SPRAYED thursday, just so we know what it feels like so when someone is to steal our pepper spray, and spray us, we won't retaliate in anger and whip out out Sig Sauger 9mm and blast a cap in their ass. Well know we know how much it burns and hurts... It's like taking your face and dropping it into a vat of boiling french fries ad McDonald's... without the scarring. Pepper spray comes from the extract of the hottest pepper, which is only found in India. So, it's an oily resin, and when it gets on your skin, and in your eyes, it goes in your pores and burns and does not go away for a long time... bout an hour before you go to sever pain to moderate pain. I don't wish this on anyone, unless that is they are trying to inflict harm on me while i'm in uniform, then i just give em a shot in t he face when they least expect it, and they go down in a world of hurt. So what is it i do? I'm a Conservation Officer... which means I enforce the Forests Act, Crown Lands Act, Hunting anf Fishing regulations... etc - I patrol provincial parks, I check for fishing & Hunting licences, I charge people for dumping truckloads of garbage in the woods, I helf the environment, and the fish and wildlife species that inhabit the forest. I am mother natures defence.
So now with this inspection tomorrow, I've gotta have my bed made with 45 degree hospital corners, i've got to have a 11 1/4 inch fold that has to be 15" away from the headboard. I actually iron the top part of my bed int he morning! That's crazy. I have to polish my boots, dry my shower in the morning, iron shirts, and iron pants. There can be NO dust anywhere in my room - and man i'm glad there's such thing as "SWIFFERS"
So, that's all I have to say for now. It's been a great time killing time, and i 'm sad it has to come to an end now... but I must leave the computer lab, and go back to my hell hole of a barracks. I miss my dogs, and my computer, and my four wheeler, and most of all - They boys.
