The next day I was called into the office for being awol. when questioned he denied giving me permission. I served in the Marines I know not to leave without permission. It got to the point of a heated exchange with that cadet, because my ass was on the line. I resigned that afternoon, the academy received a letter from me and I informed the class and wished them good luck. Luckily after that person graduated it was found that he did lie and people felt bad. Two instructors happened to be with Oakland Park and they knew my skills, grades in the high 90 percentile. I applied to Oakland Park did the test and was back in the Academy two months later. Sooner or later the truth is revealed. I became class president, received the academic honors award and high shooter. After the merger with BSO Major Verona ( the previous chief of Deerfield Beach ), learned that I was at Oakland Park and he put a letter in my file that I was fired. Typical BSO games, I'm sure other employees have dealt with that. I was ticked, of course reps told me leave it alone you just had the merger. Don't cause trouble.
2. Many write ups - I think there is a reprimand for being late in the 90's. During a nasty divorce my vest mysteriously disappeared. Reprimand for equipment. and a late report during hurricane Wilma. I turned in a report late with permission from a SGT that was taking Percocet for a neck injury. XO had me written up. To make it clear there is nothing involving political corruption. Numerous commendations and The Gold Cross award, deputy of the month etc. recipient of awards from private firms for Valor.
3. Sleeping- Yes this has happened. I would go to bed at 8 or 9 pm and I would be in my car and pass out. with the change in the insurance based on politics it took over six months to receive the proper medical treatment. Over time I had gained weight up to 213 pounds. after the events started occurring . I saw a doctor as new patient waited three weeks to get in. After telling the symptoms he did blood work next available appointment three weeks. Blood work comes back good. Then this specialist than that specialist each time I was a new patient and everyone has been through this wait three weeks to a month to get in. Over time it was found that I had ( high Blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, Sever obstructive sleep apnea). I lost weight took my meds it took over six months to get my mask and had a procedure to remove tissue in the back of my mouth. So you see this took a while to get done. People at work knew this and were constantly updated. The great football player Reggie White died from this, so don't make it sound like Chuck was lazy and took a nap. Nope
4. Forced out- I don't think so, nine months after the airport shooting. Still the constant speeches of no matter what happened our priority is customer service to BCAD and the airlines. Translation - don't protect the public serve the will of the airlines and BCAD. I had 28 years in service I checked with HR on what my pay would be. I have two pensions Oakland Park and FRS. I net almost $ 6,200.00 per month in my pensions. Florida is expensive I could live fat on that pay in Carolina or other states. Ask Captain Liddicot Sgt Ray Morell. all were shocked that I was leaving.
So I'm not perfect, but honest. It's all about the truth. Trudel pays his ex so much money. I still net more than him and I'm not working. Who is the fool now ?
