    Yeah that goes for new grads as well. After a year, they pay .38cpm. Not great but you can make a living. The experience is what I'm looking for. Clock some miles on my log and learn as much as I can.

    I'm originally from up in IL, but mother & her side was from LA, so I've lived in both places many years at a stretch.
    Down there, I lived in Tangipahoa Parish first... then Red Stick... then Livingston Parish.
    I also worked in Red Stick many years.

    Translation Guide For Non-Louisianians:
    LA = Louisiana, period... not that traffic & smog farm called Los Angeles.
    Red Stick = Baton Rouge because it's French for... you guessed it... red stick!

    I worked for West Baton Rouge Sheriffs Office. Did some training out at Livingston Parish Sheriffs training center out there in Walker by the dump. Worked at the Crowne Plaza as the hotel manager in the stick and at a few apartment complexes doing maintenance. I'm in Livingston a lot these days with my current (soon to be former) job. Lots of Walker and Denham.

    Small world. I was with Baton Rouge City Police, but that was back when we were issued black powder muzzle-loading six shooters. ;)
    Got to 'meet' WBRSO deputies mainly after high speed pursuits over the new & old Miss River bridges (geeze, I miss those), jumpers off the new bridge, and end of tour's at the Candelight Inn.
    I'll PM ya so I don't clog up your thread with non-Henderson rip-rap.

    Perhaps I'll run across you sometimes. They rent yard space from Navajo here in Denver.
