It’s nothing new that many of us are proud of our kids and my wife and I are no exception. On Sept. 23rd, 2018, My wife and I sat in the Michigan State Police orientation program with our son, Stefin, and 135 other Recruits. MSP staff told all of us that many of the Recruits would not make it through what is said to be one of the toughest Police academies in the Nation and they were unfortunately correct, as over 25% did not make it.
Well, 28 weeks later, with hard work, sacrafice and determination, my wife and I watched Stefin fullfil his dream of becoming a Michigan State Trooper.
I have to admit, after 26 yrs in the Public Safety business, I was hoping he’d do something different.
Watching his mom pin his badge on was one of the proudest moments of my life, even though she was an emotional wreck.
So anyway, if you happen to get pulled over or come into contact with this young Trooper, let him know you know his old man from Hunt Talk and maybe he’ll cut you a break.
