How much did you say you weigh, 150-160?

If so, you're not "bubba" enough to be a cop. They don't care how fit you are. Size is all that counts in their opinion.

Yep. I hit that one like a brick freaking wall when I graduated college and was scrambling to find a place to work.

so to be a cop, pass the physical tests, and finagle a 70% on any written tests, you should be good to go.
