Highway Patrol as a humanitarian effort... well, that's a new one on me, but whatever makes people happy and gives them a feeling of accomplishment is fine by me.

Congrats man, some people don't realize just how difficult it is to become a state trooper. And don't pay attention to people giving you grief, they seem to forget cops are people too. True some cops are dicks, but then again, so are alot of people.

Congratulations! Hope everything goes well. My dream has always been to be a Texas State Trooper. Unfortunately, my body is all screwed up after 3 car accidents so I would never make it
