    Just curious, but what's everyone's dreams or goals in life?

    I don't really have any such things myself, so I guess I'm just curious about everyone else :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I intend to own/start at least two but preferably three businesses with 3 to four stores a piece. I will also be looking to buy a homestead with enough land to sight in and train regularly with my target and hunting rifles.

    The first I am working on right is an emergency kit (Camping, disasters, every day emergency) and knife supply store run on line. I will be hand making almost everything including the knives(I am learning to blacksmith)
    The second shall be a coffee chain if I can learn enough about the business.
    The final if I get to it will be a pc repair shop. Preferably one I invest in and hold a controlling interest in but do not manage directly.

    I see.

    That's pretty cool that you're gonna learn how to blacksmith :slight_smile:

    I don't care much for coffee, but I do love computers! ^^

    My most immediate goals involve graduating the academy and getting a job in law enforcement. After that though, I want to publish my novel and ideally some other work. Is it wrong to want to be a literal warrior-poet? :grin:

    Yea its a good work out I can tell you that. Swinging a hammer all day will build muscle. Also I can learn to forge armor for my pets which will amuse me.

    No its not. I have advice though. Remember that your oath is to the people and the Constitutions(State/Federal) Not those in power. Also please learn to use your firearm way more proficiently then most cops. They are in general bad shots. Go to a good training ground like Front Sight, Thunder Ranch or Tactical response. It may keep you safe and it will defiantly decrease the odds of you harming an innocent should you need to use your weapon in the line of duty.

    I'm getting my Bachelor's in Psychology, right now. I'm hoping to find a good job and get my Master's and then my Psy. D.

    After all of that, I want to work with teens suffering with mental illnesses. I want to be able to help them either learn to cope or overcome their mental illnesses and be able to live as normal of a life as possible. I'd also like to be an author, but I'm not that confident in my writing abilities, lol.

    There are all sorts of dog breeds that I think would look terrifying in armor.

    Don't worry; I'm a staunch advocate for civil liberties and would do everything I can to make sure people aren't being oppressed. And although I can't promise I'm a good shot (not a lot of experience) that is something that is stressed.

    I also have an academic interest in forging/swordsmithing/armoring, but don't see that as a realistic objective for now. Someday though. :slight_smile:

    The police only train 8 to 10 hours yearly. That is NO time at all on the range. Shooting is a very perishable skill. Please for your own safety take the advice of going to one of those school and getting in regular range time. As a Veteran and firearms own I cannot stress training enough when it comes to gun ownership.

    My Dream is to work in music. My goals are to get my truck driver license and my bachelors degree in C.I.S.: Network Administration. My ambition is sometimes lacking but fueled mostly by family.

    My ambition is to become a prosthetist, my dream is to one day have a bunch of dogs and be living the high life with a wonderful lady. I have a few goals but the one I've had for the longest ive been working at since i was 9, and is for my hair to be long enough to reach my butt.
