Well, this morning starts the last day of my first week at the Jefferson County Academy. We have 34 recruits in our class, but only 14 of us are with Jefferson County. Our academy is representing 10 different agencies, and I can't be more proud that I am part of this class.
The standards by which we hold ourselves is awesome. The academy is paramilitary so there is a lot of shouting, "yes sir's", "no sir's", "attentions", and "stand clears," in a single day. To the average person, this academy would be no fun, but that is why the average person doesn't get accepted into this academy. We all met rigorous standards and are being called higher each day. Working with individals united with a cause, purpose and drive, causes the atmosphere to be filled with encouragement, honor, and integrity.
This morning, one of my closer friends in the academy is coming to pick me up. Ramon Sandavol is a buddy, but he definitely isn't intimidated by this academy's standards. As a former member of Seal Team 1, he has endurance up the wazoo. He's a great guy and I enjoy each moment learning from his experience.
This is definitely what I was looking for in an academy. I am so thankful that I was chosen to experience it.
