Never made it when I was younger, then I had kids and couldn't afford to back up in paygrade. But since I have been on Rick Perry's payroll at TWC I have been looking into it again. Everyone I had looked at before cut you off at 45 w/o being certified and having experience before. But I have recently heard from a recruiter that last week appointed a fifty-something to their next academy off the last eligibility list. Wife makes good money kids are grown and this could be the right time to give it a go. There are several in Northeast Tarrant County that do not have an age cap. As he said they can teach the procedures and law, but that life experiance is invaluable and and takes a long time to get.

The only bad part is I doubt I can get my tail in shape to pass the Physical Agility in time for the August test. The last time I did one was 35 years ago. Placed 5th out of 100 for 8 slots after PA and written then they added the vet points and i was way down the list. Then the second kiddo came along.

Health and brain can be ready tomorrow but that desk jockeying has my stamina way down. I might could be ready by the next session they run a 6 month list. I'd much prefer a mile and a half run in February in shape than August totally out of condition.
