RE: Millitary discharge Posted Tuesday, August 11, 2009 at 10:08 PM you can't even apply until you are 20.5 in most departments.. thats in about 4 years for u.. a lot can change in 4 years.. i'd be more worried about keepin my nose clean for the next 4 years... |

RE: Millitary discharge Posted Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 7:45 AM Lvmpd does not allow a person to take our written test until they are 21 years of age, the day of the test, or earlier. Your discharge from the military is not a positive spot in your history. This can be overcome. As previously mentioned, you have 4 years prior to being eligible to test. If you perform at a high level in your next job and show you can be depended upon in tough situations, then you have as good of an opportunity to succeed as anyone else. |

RE: Millitary discharge Posted Friday, January 29, 2010 at 10:40 AM hello, my name is ceasar gonzalez, I received a military discharge of General Under Honorable conditions, I was in the army went in as 11b "infantry" with an airborne and ranger contract, everything went good until i got to ranger battallion where the pressure started, mistake led to mistake and got the boot right before my first deployment i served my training and over 6 months in 1st ranger battalion and i want to go back in or go into a similar line of work which is why I am here. I want to know is it possible to become a police officer with that history, and would it hurt me in any way in qualifying, I just turned 21 this month and looking forward to serving my country or community once again to the fullest of my ability. Thank you |

RE: Millitary discharge Posted Monday, February 1, 2010 at 10:53 AM A general discharge is acceptable. I would suggest that you put in an interest card and await notification of the next test date. In the meantime, I suggest that you look over all of the material on the website and ensure that you stay physically fit. |
