I was given a job offer for the civilian job in the town I am moving to in Texas.....with their police department.

Now I have to sell house and move for the 2st time in 25 years.....ugh.

Will be worth it even with the 110k pay cut.

If you have a better quality of life and are not getting shot at it might be..... How many stories are there of Police officers being shot a week short of retirement?

Hopefully it is cheaper to live there! (Which side of TX will you be located on/near? The Gulf coast side, the Ft Smith side? Panhandle or OK Border or maybe up in Alpine at 5000 ft??)

Good luck!

Fantastic news! Lots of work ahead, though - but you can do it! Life will be SO much sweeter!
