"Thank you for your interest in becoming an Alaska State Trooper Recruit. Your application was one of many received from individuals striving for a career in law enforcement. The Department of Public Safety has made the initial selection of candidates who will continue to the next phase of the selection process. There were many qualified applicants on the list, and this selection was a difficulty and arduous task. Your application was carefully reviewed; however, you were not among those chosen to progress further in the selection process for this recruitment.
If you would like to re-apply you are eligible to do so for the Fall 2010 Academy.
We appreciate your cooperation and patience during this selection process and wish you success in your future endeavors.
Sincerely, Department of Public Safety Recruitment Selection Committee"

WE ARE SO SAD. But we are now working on Plan B - which is to put into motion Plan C - whenever we decide what Plan C might be.
When we began this process again last January, James said he planned to apply again, whatever the outcome of this round. So we'll start the process again this coming December or January. Doesn't 2010 sound like forever away? James already has a 'to do' list of things to be a better candidate next year. Practicing typing, getting another semester of school done, take some computer classes... I'm proud of my James & the effort he put into this years application and into all his efforts into providing for our family.
Of course, on the 'silver lining' side of things, we still have full-time Utah jobs, I get to keep my husband close by for the rest of the year & we're planning some Utah adventures. And James is already weighing the pros/cons between a seasons pass to Brighton vs. Alta...
