I just turned 20, so i turned in the application a little early. But i did it because i know the process could take up to 6 months anyways. This came SOOOONER than i thought. I thought id be seeing this letter like in October.

ANYWAY, i go outside to get the mail and i got a letter
This is what it says................

Providing inaccurate or incomplete information during any phase of the selection process is grounds for disqualification.

I dont know what to do now. I decided to continue going to college and pursue a degree in Criminal Justice so that i can become an FBI Agent. I was thinking about this yesterday and i decided i wanted to be an FBI Agent also. So now i dont know if i want to be a CHP or go to school 3-4 years to get a degree then wait for a LOOOONG process for the FBI Agent.

Let's not instigate anything.
HuGo can't post outside of the SoCal section and others need to be approved to post in the SoCal section.
This is a slippery slope.
