I am writing this story to share the experience Officer Scott had with Officer Full Throttle. It was by far his most memorable experience as a law enforcement officer. Officer Scott spent most of his career in Special Ops in the military, and a law enforcement career was his best option. Officer Scott’s first training officer right out of rookie school was Officer Full Throttle. It’s only fair that he would share this story to illustrate what an outstanding officer Full Throttle was and was the best Officer Scott had ever worked with in his 15 years as an officer.

While I was deployed with the US Army in Sinai, Egypt, I went on a fishing trip with a few soldiers from my unit and some from another unit that was deployed with us, however, we normally do not get along with each other. On the fishing trip, a usually event accrued, and we were able to put our differences aside to survive the ordeal. I truly believe you will enjoy listening to this real-life occurrence.

When I graduated high school, I enrolled in a local college and ended up dropping out because of financial reasons. I also tried to join the military, however, citing health reasons, they turned me down. I tried to apply at a local trucking company, and they all said "no" since I had no experience. I took the state exam to be a police officer and did not score high enough on the exam. Over time, I eventually was able to get the jobs that I had been turned down for earlier, with persistence and determination.

I wanted to demonstrate how consistently fascinated I am by the choices that other people make. During the course of my work as a police officer, I had the pleasure of interacting with a great many amazing people from all social classes. As a consequence of this, I had the idea to write about the utterly amazing people I met during the course of my career in law enforcement.
