Topic: The Club House / If you had it to do over again

Gunfighter, I have left corrections then came back. I left because of the pay originally and just being young and not close to my family. When you leave, it’s great at first. Yes, I made more money, but at the end of the day there was no pride with your fellow workers and it was just a job. After being out I thought about what I used to do. Long story short you will get a thousand answers for your question. This job is for some people and not for others. For me it’s more then a paycheck. The challenge to this job is the same and different all in a moments notice. My 2 cents. I’d do it over again a 3rd time if I had to.

Topic: The Club House / Just starting out

I’m new on this forum. I have been in Corrections for 5 years. It’s a great job. Your about to begin a new life and be in the best brotherhood you will ever discover. Remember your policy and procedure and you will do great. Suck up everything you can from your experienced co workers or FTO’s. In under a year you’re going to see and learn things that you could have probably never made up or imagined in your life. Some funny things and some not so pleasant things, it comes with the job. FYI I’m sure you have written by know, if not use what you learned in school. I had a Sgt who drew on my first reports with that magical red pen. It was still in 3rd grade all over again. Welcome and best of luck to you brother!
