You guys are too kind, really. I know none of us have ever met in person but it does mean a lot to get support from people who's opinions I respect. My parents have been trying to talk me out of it since I first mentioned the idea to them, but my wife is super proud and it's something I will be proud of too, and that's what's most important. With that being said, I do really appreciate yalls support.
Anyways, enough sappy stuff, on to doomsday! From a prepper standpoint this is an excellent career choice as the training, physical and otherwise, would certainly come in handy in any sort of emergency. Also I get a free pistol, shotgun, and patrol rifle issued to me upon being accepted at my local PD so that's pretty awesome and will save me some cash for sure, as well as provide me with the opportunity to do advanced weapon training. The shooting range I go to doesn't even let you work with a holster, much less run any tactical style drills. Obviously I will have responsibilities come any emergency situation but that's fine with me, I've always been the type to try and help those who can't help themselves.
Packing for the move to the new apartment has given me a good inventory of what we have and what we still need. Even though we're going from a rental house to an apartment, we're gaining space, so that solves some of the problems we've run into while assembling our preps; namely storage space. Also we're about to meet a lot of new folks and have a lot of new neighbors, so hopefully we'll find some like-minded individuals that we can form a little prepper group with.
