I recieved some exciting news this morning concerning my application with the sheriffs dept, I was told I will be recieveing a call from them within the next few days

! Here is a short but comprehensive story.
1. It take's atleast 3 month's for the dept to do all their background check which I knew. I heard from them after two week's of submitting my app on June 12th as they were enquireing about a few detail's and also asked what my goal's are with the sheriff's dept. Then NOTHING for the next 10 week's.
2. My uncle is a deputy sheriff, who has been very supportive and know's how the system work's, told me that if it has been almost three month's and you have not recieved a denial letter you should be just fine. On a side note I recieved a 'denial of employment' from his agency in less than one week, 8 month's ago, but it is a VERY tough agency to get on .
Also I have an 'inside connection', who said he would make SURE I got the job, within the dept I'm persueing and I was reassured by him that I am "IN" just be patient. After speaking with my uncle, which I failed to mention was about 3 week's ago, I called my connection for some moral support and he told me I will be fine. One may ask why I needed or wanted an 'inside connection' so please let me address that. It seem's that all of our police/law enforcement agency's are way under funded aswell as under staffed but they adhere to a very strict requirement code. I meet ALL of the requirement's accept for having a spotless credit record, which is from along time ago, but there are ALOT worse. My 'inside connection' told me NOT to worry about that he will get me the job.
Also as your life goes on you find out that sometime's it's not what you know but WHO you know.

So basically as everyone can see I just needed to vent for moral support so
PLEASE say a prayer for me? I had thought about getting into law enforcement 20yr's ago but I did not persue it and regret it now.
