There’s a ring of truth to it for sure. I made it through with no extra training or failures, but he’s right that luck plays a part in that.
The stories I’ve heard of Cress and sometimes the stupid stuff he’s busted a student for have made my blood boil. And the author is right- with the previous arrests, Cress shouldn’t be anywhere near being an APD.
That said, for the most part if you apply yourself and study you’ll be fine.
But truthfully if anyone sees JC on the sim ride, call out sick. He’s a piece of work.
