    WW - if you look at our posting times - you'll see I was sending him a hopeful note at the same moment he was posting his rejection update...

    Talk about bad timing!

    So... I'll say chin-up sir, you are apparently meant for better things.

    Exciting! And frustrating!

    So it goes. Most people I know who have looked for work recently got a handful of rejections and ended up with plum jobs when it was all over. It's a bit of a crucible, forcing one to hone one's strategies and focus on the most important things. Keep us posted!

    Regards,
    Rex.
    At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.

    Keep the faith that what's best for you is what's going to happen. Clearly this wasn't the right thing for you at this time. A better opportunity is waiting or this one might come around again when the time is right.

    Be patient and keep your head down and keep moving foreward... It appears you are looking at base police at Ft Riley... Check out the civilian markets too... And don't be afraid to look into other markets... You have some valueable skills, not easily found in the job market... Look out of the box.. It might well worth it.

    I will keep you in my prayers
