This is not only my first thread on the new board, it is my first Mom brag. Our township/police department sponsors a one week Junior Police Academy. It is run like an academy complete with drill sergeants. My DS made the entire week without saying he wanted to quit (I did tell him he was doing the entire thing after the first day when he said he would have to wait and see if he wanted to quit later in the week, but that doesn't usually stop him from saying he wants to quit!). He never complained and seemed to have a great time although he did say NO! when I asked him if he wanted to go again next year.
Here's my boy with one of the drill sergeants. FTR, this is a staged picture!

What a great experience. I *think* a lot of children might benefit from this course. I know lots of children from DS' school could have benefitted from it!

I bet you he will beg to go next year! This seems sort of like child birth. When you are in the middle of it you swear you will never do it again, but as soon as you get some distance you are ready to try it again.
You should be very proud!

Thanks everyone. I am so glad he stuck it out. It was an awesome program, they have been doing it for five years. The guy who heads up the program told them they had the fewest number of people to drop ever this session. I think they only had 2 or 3 drop out. If they hadn't made them write essays I think he would have been more in favor of going again next year!

That is awesome, good for him for sticking it out! He'll look back on the experience fondly, I know my 15 yr old does that to some of her harder experiences |
