The "system" will evaluate his application, screen him, and put him into training after that part of the process...If he makes the cut, he's on his way, and we'll have another good person come out of that academy after he completes that course...
Those of us who know, know you don't skate through that program...
So whatever questions we have now, will be answered if you get pulled over and the nametag says "Nguyen"...

One thing to note...Our police departments all around the country are going to be flush with an influx of combat veterans over the next ten or so years...I have a high degree of confidence that that is going to be a fact...Thats what people with no military, or other law enforcement experience are going to have to account for...And more importantly, compete with for for the jobs out there...
Sure, you can apply, go through the training, complete the program, but you can be assured of nothing after that...
I wish you good luck...
