In June of 2022, I was in Troop School, and Brady was in FTO training at the barracks. Brady pulled me and two other recruits aside to give us a talk about when we start field training, and this was the first time we became acquainted with each other. At first, we didn’t think too highly of each other lol.

In September of 2022, he was assigned to be my FTO (Field Training Officer) for a week. We somewhat got to know each other, and to give him credit I did retain a little of what he taught me. My favorite story from the one week we worked together, we got into a pursuit and we were in his charger. I drove his car like a stole it, and by the end of it I blew up his engine. I did slightly scare him I believe.

After FTO, we became fairly good friends. Hung out at get togethers and talked quite a bit. There’s not an exact timeline on when we got together relationship wise, but we’re coming up on two years now.
