Oh boy!!! Now we can all speed through Cambridge! (I have the Cardinal Red and Silver TBA) 
I would be unstoppable if not for law enforcement and physics.

"NOW" we can? Heck...I can't remember the last time I was even close to the speed limit around those parts. Except when there's traffic of course...but I still manage to go much faster than all the cars...

Just remember, they're just trying to get you to follow simple instructions perfectly. Surprizing how hard that is.
And also, at one time, those instructors were dumb-as-a-post newbies themselves.

it really is a lot like basic, and it is amazing how hard it is to follow those simple instructions, but they also make sure we screw them up anyways. thanks for all the comments. maybe when i am done i can get on the motorcycle's and maybe use my triumph instead of the beamers

Good Luck Frank - not that you will need it.
I am actually going to an acadamy graduation this friday - my former legal assistant got hired by Flagstaff PD and finishes the acadamy this week. We (at the office) are very proud of her accomplishments - 'course we had no doubts she could do it. Every once in a while I would get a text message from her in the middle of the day - complaining about boring classes or instructers from heck.....
She didn't want to go to law school...finished her Masters last year and said she was DONE with higher education and went to the police department - ha ha! She will make a great officer - smart, has common sense, and has some empathy too.
I wish you all the best and keep us up to date if you can.

Oh Frank. Stop being so modest. The mass academys are some of the toughest in the north east and beyond. And I'm am gonna tell you folks-you should be proud of Frank. He is like a kid in a candy store. Motivated, standing tall and locked on. He is gonna make a FANTASTIC officer! AND.......AND I'm gonna have a riding buddy who has a badge in his pocket. muahahahahaha.
