Well thank you VCS ! I'm sure the members of this website, who work out
of Fairton, would welcome you to our crazy place. Being there 18 years,
I'm trying my best to make room for all new comers. In other words, I'm
ready to stop working for the rest of my life. However, living in NJ makes
it a matter of affordability, I've got a few more years to do.

Well slappy. If my background and pee pee test come back good I will be joining you. Today 7/8/08 I was there for the drug test and physical and the fingerprinting. I was there last week for the interview. All went well as I obviously got my conditional offer of employment. I know there is another guy on here named Nevin that works with you. I have seen him in the federal/military sections of this site recently. I look forward to meeting you and the other staff once everything comes back. I dont see any problems with background as I'm not a criminal and I dont use drugs. So i should be good.
and whats with all the different uniforms I see people wearing around there. which one will i be in ?

Thanks and welcome.

I haven't read the Uniform threads yet, but I'm sure there's good info for
you to read. As a Correctional Officer, there are several you have the
option to where. The Blue Shirt/Blue Pants is most commonly worn. But
we're in the middle of a transition period between old and new uniforms.
IMHO, the white shirt and blue pants will make a newbie look professional.
But the white shirts will not last long if your doing the work expected.
Good Luck in the process and hope to meet you in the near future.

Ha..

I wear white shirts to work now and they are the worst to keep clean to begin with.
