MBTA PD/Language feedback

(Click here to view the original thread on the MassCops Message Board)


Posted by: Mumbles

Like many people here, I plan on taking the civil service exam this April. I'm trying to figure out if I should choose the MBTA as one of my town selections, but from what I've read here, it looks like a waste of a selection if you aren't a vet. I'm not a vet, but I speak two languages other than English (Spanish & Russian). I've heard that they sometimes call non-vets with language skills, but I don't know how often this actually happens. So, does everyone think I should put in for the MBTA or would it most likely be a waste of a selection? Any feedback would be appreciated.

This looks familiar...

You get your town of residence and 3 choices if I remember correctly. If you are not a vet there is little to no chance you will be hired anywhere except the town you are a resident in or the T if you have a language skill they need. Spanish is always big and Russian would be helful with all the terrorism stuff and investigations.

Dunny,

the drag racing helps him stay "Motovated" for those high speed pursuits.

People that still drag race into their 30s are the cool kids anyway.

Then again, who am I to judge?
