8 months as a CSO, I am hoping to advance soon. Although I try to wait 2-8 hours each week as a minimum according to my schedule, certainly less compared to 12 hours each day compared to the first few weeks, I feel my luck is awful - I'm normally positioned underneath other new people until a restart as an awful cycle until I reconnect for a repeat of that. -_-

My microphone awfully failed when I had an interview for my career at 2 PM! For a replacement, I've opted to invest in a condenser microphone with directional input - why not for a rich, deep voice?  

Relaxing with my fiancee for a night of Jurassic Park! :3 RAWR! It has me yearn for the velociraptor mod for ArmA 3 developing further...

Hoping to finally complete my FTT before a month's passed to be capable of contributing to patrols actively! ^_^ I am confident that I have procedure, protocol and rules fully internalised to apply these effectively, huzzah! I'm very close to my PA and then I'll accomplish being PC as a fully qualified, competent member of the police force in Atlis!  

I wish I had further time for gaming, which is my favourite activity over any obligation, but my training to become a therapist is so intensive, argh! Today, I learnt about 'psychological first-aid' - immediate emotional support for those in a disaster, very useful as an expertise in the event of a zombie apocalypse! 

This is for fellow candidates to be police officers! So, as I've seen so far, becoming a police officer on Atlis Life UK has five phases, separated with time to incorporate each lesson and update the database/whitelists:

1 - Application. This determines YOUR character - compatibility with a sensitive, trusted role on the sever - and is foremost for admission!

2 - Interview. This tests YOUR potential as a future police officer from: A) Attitude, B) Basic Knowledge, C) Commitment.

3 - FTC. This is training to prepare the right mentality for patrols as a CSO, which are performed between FTC/FTT, to successfully learn all procedures required to complete the FTT. 

4 - CSO Patrols. These are not mandated, but are advised at one's discretion, along with studying documentation on protocols, for internalising knowledge/experience essential to complete the FTT. 

5 - FTT. This is a field test to test one's approach to a variety of scenarios, awareness of the correct procedure and appropriate application of the law: all necessary to be performed accurately for competence. 

6 - PA. You lead a patrol, no simulation, with senior officers and demonstrate a competent, knowledgeable conduct to be accepted as a fully fledged police constable! 

This should detail the whole process to reassure some trainees with confidence of all they must do and educate others on their progress/future! Study thoroughly and know each step supports the other (3>4, 4>5, 5>6)! Foremost, enjoy and anticipate - don't become disheartened or impatient, it's all imperative for brilliant roleplay ultimately! 

Good luck to all my colleagues in training! ^^
