Been brought to my attention...

It was brought to my attention, that I have not been posting much, and I have not posted progress here in the academy.

 

I succesfully graduated the Border Patrol academy. I graduated on April 16 along with 39 of my fellow classmates. We started at 50, dropped down to 39 then gained one from a previous class. I had the honor of having Scottyboy pin my badge, and Hector aka Chef was also at the ceremony. I lost a total of 20 pounds, and gained the respect of all of my classmates as I know they did not think I was going to be able to make it through because of my size. Little did they know... On our first mile and a half time, I ran a 12:28, and finished sixth in the class. On our final, I ran a 11:30, and finshed sixth in the class. I enjoyed the academy, and all though it was tough at times, it was a amazing experience. Currently, us non-native speakers are in Spanish immerision course. It is definately interesting. I still have a month here, and can not wait to get home and start working in the field!

Congrats again, amigo.

 

It was great to see you graduate. I could see the pride you had in yourself when I pinned that badge on you. You earned it.

I'm proud of you!

Congrats Casey! Now get to learning that Spanish!

Congrats Casey! Now get to learning that Spanish!

 

Casey ya habla algo de espanol y lo hace muy bien. Yo le quise presentar a mi hermana para que practicara mas, pero Casey es muy timido.

Casey already speaks some spanish y he does it really good. I tried to introduce him to my sister so he can practice more but Casey is to shy.
