    I think that's been a lot of people underestimating it! I've had a trial run at the PCA a while back, I don't think it's changed too much - and it was definitely doable :) I'm sure you'll blast right through it!

    No mission!!! Don't **** where you eat. I want a career out of this, I don't want someone saying I only got what I achieve by sleeping around, I'm not that kind of working girl lol

    Sadly, even in the 21st century, they will happen whether you do or don't. You only need to look at the bull**** rumor-mill that happened towards Judith Gillespie, to see proof of this.

    I would imagine a resilient demeanour and mind are a must tbh.

    Well us ladies will just have to cross that bridge when we come to it. We're more than capable of doing anything the guys can without using our "feminine charms" lmao

    Ordinary people doing extraordinary jobs. Always wanted to be a police officer from when I first remember my parents getting home for 5 minutes to get a quick packed lunch then back out on the street during the dark days seeing them in that uniform made me proud. And that's why I'm applying to become that role model that I once looked up to! Good luck all

    I quite fancied a job where you'd get no support from the management or public, where I work twenty one days without a day off and where they tell you that you have to stay on duty for an indeterminate time five minutes before the end of shift with absolutely no regard for your personal life, and usually for no obvious reason.

    Having said that, it's the only job I'd care to do. Every day is genuinely different and the banter between colleagues can be some of the best you'll ever experience. And sometimes, and I mean once in the bluest of blue moons, you might feel quite proud for helping someone who actually needs you (and hasn't just fallen out with their friend on Facebook and "wants them charged").

    Love this post, my parents weren't in the police but I am father to three young kids. The thought that they might one day say something like this about me has made me even more determined to smash this pca which is very soon.
