I am elated, scared, sad, worried...

I just accepted a job offer with the Cherokee County Georgia Sheriff's Office. I will start 2 weeks from Thursday and wil have to do a mandatory probationary year in the jail to start learning the ropes of law enforcement.

Congratulations!!!! Looks like all the worry paid off. Good luck in your new career.

Congrats. Looks like a prime spot, just far enough outside the city to avoid the crowds, yet close enough to enjoy it when you want it. There are some good gun shops in nearby norcross and lilburn, and practically the only sports shooting clubs are in Atlanta.

Welcome to the S%^t Pit.

LMAO! I live in Cherokee County, Lake Arrowhead to be exact. Make's me feel good somebody from the forums is here so close. Oh and please don't pull me over for speeding. I drive a red '94 Saab convertable.

I only speed when I'm late for work............................wait...just umm...forget EVERYTHING I just said.

btw, There is a shooting club in Jasper for only $200 the first year and $100 every year after that. It's closer than Ed's gun and tackle and cheaper in the long run. Look into it.

Good. Now you can arrest my brother in law. He lives in Hiram. Get him!

Congratulations. I started off as a floor and booking officer.

Now that you are going to work in the jail, bear in mind that if you stay in police work in the area, YOU WILL MEET THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!

Treat them correctly. They will remember you.

Learn everything you can in the jail. It will serve you well. You will be dealing with angry people. And inmates too.

If you are not in good condition, work on it and get into GREAT condition. The jail is a very stressful environment to work in. If you already are in good/great condition, work out even harder. You'll need it.

The adventure begins. Best of luck to you.
