Dennis,

Congratulations! Remember that you're never "done"...I've been following law enforcement, criminal jurisprudence and new methodology/court changes for 30+ years, and there's always something you'll need to know.

But there's no other vocation like it. :larrow:

LOL! Guess I should have said "I'm done for 3 weeks!" then it's on to the Bachelors program.....and yes, your right, there's ALWAYS new laws, new training techniques that change every single day!

Congrats Dennis! That's great news. I know a REAL CSI!!!

Haven't asked for a while, but what ever happened with your business there. Do you still have it? Did you sell it? Or are you just continuing to work it in the background?

I know it wasn't that long ago that your business was doing very well too.

Congratulations again!

Thanks gang! Steve, Bill.....we still have the business, when time allows, I work the business but it's Michelle that has taken the "Bull by the horns" and keeps it running like a clock!! We've have 2 part time employees that work during the busy season (32 hours a week) and then back off to 16 hours a week during the slow season, which BTW has just kicked in....we had a "killing" frost the other night and things have REALLY slowed down!

BTW....if your wondering HOW I got my A.A.S. in 1 year and I'll have my Bach Degree in 2 years........this is a HIGHLY accelerated course of study :eek:

I don't get breaks, spring, summer, holidays etc.......it's 24/7's of school.......it's bust butt work but a VERY GOOD system! The SCARY part is, even with this being an accelerated course, I RETAINED a "LOT!" :eek:
