In Five Year Vest... whenever anybody would ask, “hey
Mike, what’s the NYC Police Academy like?” I always gave the same answer: High
School. There was cheating on tests, cutting class, and falling asleep in
class. In HS this is expected from students. But in the police academy, one
would expect a much more disciplined atmosphere.
At least that’s what I thought. The only real difference is
that in HS there is the possibility of failing. But to fail out of the academy
you would literally have to have an empty space between your ears...
Come share five years on the job; enjoy the worst times of my
life...
