I can’t thank you enough for you words of wisdom. Thank you.

Topic: A Broader View / Federal Bureau of Prisons

I’m starting my training with the FBOP on Monday. My degree isn’t finished, but they accepted me. I think my military experience counted as specialized experience. If you have worked corrections, you shouldn’t need a degree to get in.

Thank you for your opinion. I guess I will form my own in due time. I’m sure the environment tends to turn an optimist into a pessimist.

Thank you for the reply Mick. I’m looking forward to that military-like camaraderie. What would you say are the best and worst parts of the job?

Sir, I greatly appreciate your advice. My first response came from a Warden; I couldn’t ask for a more professional source. Once again, thank you.

So…it’s quiet in here…

Topic: The Club House / New BOP hire

I recently received my acceptance letter for the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I start my in-house training on March 30th. I can’t say how relieved I am to start this career. After I seperated from the Air Force last year, I applied to dozens of police and corrections agencies. The BOP process took me three weeks…and I was hired. One of the police agencies just called me after six months..six months and now they want to schedule a background interview. I told them thanks, but no thanks. Now that I’m in, I’m wondering what kind of graduate degree I should go for to progress. If anyone has any advice on education or career advancement, I’d appreciate it.
