As you know, for the last year Rob has been in the testing process with the Seattle PD. He completed all the testing and did wonderfully. Thursday we got the call saying he isn't hired. They feel like "he doesn't have enough life experience." Rob grew up in a wonderful family, never got into any kind of trouble, never had any tickets so on and so on. It's frustrating knowing that because Rob has lived a honest, clean life that they don't think he can be a police officer. They told him to wait a year or two and try again. Luckily he still has AMR and that will give him all the "street smarts" he needs.
My heart just brakes for my husband. He worked so hard and his heart was so set on this. In the mean time he will become and EMT and look into smaller departments in smaller cities. He felt so discouraged. Who wouldn't? I just want him to know that I am so proud of him for all that he has done. He works so hard and he always will. Seattle PD was not the place for him to be. Never the less I am so proud and grateful to him. It is such a blessing to be his wife and I know that something will happen for him. Keep your chin up babe! I love you with all of my heart. Forever.

That's a bummer... but like you - we are immensely proud of all the hard work he has put into all of this.
ReplyDeleteJust a thought - can he still go on ride-alongs? Just to keep his face there? Does that make sense?
life's just a journey. he'll find himself anywhere he wants to be with that ethic he has. enjoy the process. besides, if country music has taught me anything...."you're gonna miss this, you're gonna want this back, you're gonna wish these days, hadn't gone by so fast. these are the good times, so take another look around. you may not know this yet, but you're gonna miss this.
