okeechobee county hiring

[John Hartman]

Just got back from the written test today. only 22 guys showed up and applied but not totally sure on how many they are planning on taking. I know is some of the rural smaller depts it is a good ole boy system and my chances are probably slim seeming how i heard 4 of the guys talking with the training chief about going hunting this upcoming weekend.

You're right. Usually smaller/rural departments hire their volunteers. Open application and testing is a formality required by the BOCC. 22 is pretty good odds though.
