Why Im not in Napa Academy anymore
Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 2:02 am
Enough of you guys have now asked me what happened to me going to Napa Police academy. I never planed on telling because I didn't want people to think I was pulling a "poor me" story. Anyway here is what happened.
Napa academy was a..rather odd academy, in that it was very easy to get kicked out. They compared everything we did to if we were real cops. For example, one of the items we had on our duty belts was a blue toy gun. Now this represented a real gun to us. Well one day after class one of the guys was changing and left his gun belt sitting in his open locker while he walked over and used the toilet. When he came back one of the drill instructors had stolen his gun. The Instructors likened this to a cop loosing his real gun and he was kicked out of the academy. (It is of worthy note that this locker room was for recruits only, so had this been real the only people who were in the locker room would be OTHER COPS)
But I digress, back to my story. When I entered the academy the first day we were told that it was not aganst any rules for 2 recruits to date, it wasn't illegal, just not recommended. Well there turned out to be a few moths later 2 recruits who MAYBIE were dating...we just couldn't tell. Well one day after class a group of students including these 2 recruits and me went out for pizza. Well one of the instructors was there and saw us. This wasn't a problem ..or so i thought. Anyway this took place on a friday night so it was 2 days before we came back and all of the people at the pizza party, except for the 2 maybe dating recruits, were called into the office and told WE WERE KICKED OUT OF THE ACADEMY! Why? Because the female recruit who MIGHT have been dating the guy was MARRIED! I didn't know that! Not to mention had I known I still wouldn't have told anyone cause its none of my buisness. They likened it to what if we knew our partners were taking kickbacks and didn't turn them in.
Anyway 7 recruits, including the couple were kicked from the academy.
The only good news is because its so easy to get kicked out there's no rule saying I can't re enter the academy this July...I may or may not do so.
