Down to 30 days left of R's time at the academy and we couldn't be more excited!
After the cadet's got their assignments, they tested on scenarios. Despite being 21 weeks in, R was definitely nervous for scenarios, since we knew they were one of the last major tests that they could fail out on. We were so relieved when R passed all of them, as did his roommates!
Since then, the cadets have been finishing up the LDs, which are their academic classes on law enforcement topics. They certified on their night shooting and finished up Spanish PMA as well. It's been a series of long days for these cadets as their time at the academy is coming to an end.
This past weekend was the big ride along, where all the cadets got to visit their new offices! R and I were so pleased that Hayward was just a car ride away and it gave us a great opportunity to look for new housing in the East Bay. On Friday we did a test drive to the Hayward office and on Saturday R spent the day there.
I was so excited for R that I barely slept the night before his ride along and when he got ready to leave at 7:15, I was wide awake and ready to kiss him goodbye. He looked SO handsome in his cadet blues with his brass name plate and radio. I was beaming with joy as I wished him luck on his day ahead.
He came home Saturday night (after spending 8 hours at his office) SO excited to tell me everything they did that day. He loved his office and said all the officers were very nice. He was also very happy with the beats he was shown because they were fairly easy to remember and they didn't include any unincorporated areas. So good news overall! I think Hayward will be a good fit for us.
It's hard to believe that in a little over a month, R will be an officer with the California Highway Patrol. We're so incredibly lucky to have gotten this opportunity and I hope you all are as proud as I am that R made it through!
Cheers to the final 30 days and starting this new chapter in our lives!
