What is my best course of action here?
Please bare w/ me as this post may be a bit lengthy.
Situation. I get aggrevated and quit my job (1 year ago). I had a couple thousand $$ set back from playing poker. As previously stated I havent worked for a year. I am currently getting ready to go through background investigations to be a police officer. They are going to want to know how I have lived the last year of my life. Facts I really dont have many bills so I dont need to show any major income (maybe 6-7K a year just to live on would be sufficent). I havent filed my tax returns yet for the year but I won a tournament in Vegas for 10k (should I include that on my taxes)? My thoughts: Tell them that I had money in my savings account and took a year off to do some traveling and see some old friends. I really dont think they could hold that against me and I dont think they would have anyway of proving that I didnt have the money in my savings as they can not (atleast to my knowledge) acess my financial records. Problems.. A google search and my name comes up under winning some monies playing poker. No large amounts just a couple thousand. I thought I would be forth coming and tell them that I play as a hobby esp. since in the last year I have traveled to Vegas and Atlantic City. Bottom of the line here. I hate to lie about the poker thing but I know that it will never fly. I should have thought about this before taking a year off and playing but it is what it is and there is nothing I can do about the situation now. I have thought that since I havent filed my tax returns yet I could claim that I am self-employed like a power seller on e-bay or some crap like that... I figure that way I can show some type of monies made for the year... I'm really lost what the [censored] should I do? Oh yeah and sorry if this is the wrong forum but its the closest thing I could find. |

What kind of police officer would that make you? |

Re: What is my best course of action here?
Can we please just stick to the question. I will run through this real quick. Yes I have a B.S. in criminal justice. I have 4 years serving in the U.S. Army (3rd Ranger BN) and I am a combat veteran and I'm a honest guy (for the most part) but being from the military I understand that honesty is not always rewarded. Trust me you would be much better off w/ me guarding over you and your children than most of the other dirtbags applying for the job. Can we concentrate on the question please.
