Not sure which way to go.

I guess the trip up North to medical and psychological testing is where I should start. I also have to add that most of my family when they found out tried to talk me out of it. I plowed straight through. So I have this two hour trip in a 1977 Chevy Vega which I paid 300 bucks for. I had taken out a college loan to buy it. I hear a lot of people who know the car saying what a crappy car. But for 300 bucks it was the best car I ever bought. I had also learned how to paint cars when I owned that Vega and K-mart cans of blue was my choice. Needless to say it turned out cherry..I wake up early for the drive up North and I'm dressed in my one and only suit. Right, the same one I got married in. I'm driving along in the Vega which I prepped for the trip topping off the oil. And anyone who has ever owned a Vega know you always had to check the oil. So I'm on this three lane in the middle of a small city located in the Southern part of the State. And what happens - I get pulled over by a local cop. 55 in a 30. Doh!! So here I am dressed in a suit, with new short cut hair, driving a 77 Vega painted with canned paint on the side of the road telling the cop I was headed up to do the things needed to become a CO and he doesn't really care and writes me a ticket(I didn't get out of that ticket but later found being a CO does help a lot in that category!). Only on the road for 10 minutes and the day is already messed up!! I got there and took all the required test. Thought I might fail the hearing test as most of you reading may know about my lack of good hearing , in both ears! The written Psych test were totally whack!! They ask you a lot of questions and most of the same questions about 5-6 times. I guess they want to weed out the liars. Well I can tell you they miss a few!! The morning goes by and we all are almost done. I'm eating lunch next to another guy from up North and he asked me what I said when it comes to drinking alcohol and I told him I put down what I actually do drink in a month(3-6 drinks). He said he had also and told me he was there for the second time trying to get through the testing. I asked him how much did he say he drank and it was like a 6 pack per day. I'm not sure why they flagged him not suitable. He also asked me, Had I ever smoked pot?? I responded I doubt many people my age hadn't tried it although I never "Inhaled" at college it was in almost every hallway on a Friday or Saturday night. His immediate response was I would never get the job! I guess he was wrong.. I passed without any problems. Several months later I was told to report to the academy.
