Wes was selected!

Before everyone thinks he's now a highway patrolman, let me clarify. He was selected. He has not been accepted... yet :-)

The OHP called Wes yesterday and said that he made it through the selection process! He has an executive interview on Thursday in OKC where he will meet the Commissioner and Chief of Patrol. If offered a position in the Academy, he will be scheduled for the following tests:

Polygraph test
Written psychological test
Vision test
Psychological interview
Complete physical exam
Orthopedic exam

Acceptance into the Academy is contingent upon successful completion of all tests. I'll let everyone know how his interview goes on Thursday. Please keep him in your prayers!

This is the month...

we've all been waiting for! This month we will find out if Wes will be accepted to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol. Naturally, Wes' nerves are on edge. For those of you who know him, you know he's already a worry-wart so you can imagine! We are keeping our fingers crossed that everything turns out to his advantage. Everyone tells us that they know he will get accepted, but it's not as easy as it sounds. There were hundreds of applicants and they are only accepting around 75 people to attend the Academy. I am fully confident in Wes, but no one can control how the Chief selects his troopers.

Please keep us in your prayers this month. I will let everyone know when we receive a letter.
