    Hey! Well, Raleigh just finished hiring for the next academy to start in August and on eis about to graduate. I will let you know as soon as they are starting the hiring process again so you can pick up your application and receive your agility and written test dates. The agility test is a bit challenging so, my reccomendation is to start training for it now. I usually work at the Training Center while they are giving the test and saw first hand. We will keep in touch! P.S. Holly Springs and Fuquay Varina are neighboring towns.

    I talked to Lee the other day. What happened to Brian? I've tried to call and email that boy! It seems like he has fell of the face of this earth or something! I really miss chatting with him. I know that his momma is not in the best of health and that takes up his time... But if you see him tell him... "Remember who your friends are!!! and don't forget about us!"

    You are very welcome for the add. Hope to get to know you!
