thnx mate

i thought about it alot and i figured im going to university anyway, so if i am, why not study criminology or even law! something that might help u in the future. same as u, i've seen alot of people saying u shudn't join the firearms team straight after probation, but i disagree. i think u gain enough experiene and confidence in those two years that dealing with difficult situations shoudn't be an issue! so thats probably what i'll do
good luck
