ltp, BTW, the avatar is priceless! Also, when I was in the National Guard I had a First Sgt. named Pigg. He was also a Sgt with the Birmingham PD.  A large well built fellow...he didn't take a whole lot of ribbin' for his job and name combo.

You got it. . . . I knew that that was it. I knew that I didn't have long to live in this world. And in my last remaining seconds in the world, I knew that it was my obligation to write one last farewell song to the world. Took out a piece of paper, pulled out a pen, and it didn't write, I had to put another ink cartridge in it. I sat back and I thought a while, and then it come to me. It come like a flash--like a vision, burnt across the clouds. I just wrote it down. I learnt it right away. I don't want a pickle, just want to ride on my motercicle, and I don't want a tickle, I'd rather ride on my motercicle, and I don't want to die, I just want to ride on my mo-tor-cy-cle. Hey, I knew, you know, hey, I knew it wasn't the best song I ever wrote, but I didn't have time to change it.

Found out today that I'm 2. Civil service commission ruled seniority rules, which I'm okay with. 280, you should have seen the posturing and puckering the weeks/days before the interviews. It was awful. I will gladly push a scout before I stoop so low. Promos could happen anytime. There are a handful of hangers on that refuse to walk out the door.

Mac, It'll happen. How many years you got left?

But, you know the most amazing thing was, I didn't die.
I landed on top of a police car and it died.
I come into town at a screaming 175 mile an hour singing my new motorcycle song.
I stopped out front of the deli,
and out front the deli was a man eating the most tremendous pickle,
a pickle the size of four pregnant watermelons.
Just a huge monster pickle.
He walked up to me and pushed the pickle in my face and started asking me questions.
About the same time I noticed the pickle in my face,
I noticed a cord hangin' from the long end of the pickle,
going up his sleeve, though his shirt, down his pants, and out by his shoe, into a brief case he had near his feet.
I knew it wasn't an ordinary pickle.

Mac, Once the list is established is it the chief's choice who to promote or does civil service get involved? Can the chief pick anyone from the list or does it have to go in order? Rooting for you here. Paul

Mac...If a oppurtunity arose in let's say the next couple monthe, would you have to go through the whole process again?
