Chapter V: Climbing Up
Charles has been enjoying his time at the DOC as a Correctional Trainee, however it was time to start going higher. He reached out to HR in order to arrange what needs to be done to finish his training. They layed out to Charles some things that he has to complete in order to become a full Correctional Officer. He agreed and the start of one of the busiest days at DOC began for him.

Charles began his assortment of things to do by first learning to drive properly. They took out the DOC Granger and head out to Fort Zancudo in order to do the driving course. It was quite complex and challenging, however Charles made it through none the less. Doing the driving test with him, was Sarah Janeson a fellow Correctional Officer at the DOC who got along quite well with Charles. After they finished, they headed back to Bolingbroke in order to proceed with the other training sessions.

The next part of the day was learning how to properly handle a firearm. A member of HR accompanied Charles in learning the safety procedures to properly wield a firearm. Thankfully, Charles has had this sort of training before with another member of the DOC, although not with HR it was a good practice round. Charles learned the unload, make safe, load and make ready procedures. After rehearsing the procedures with a senior officer, Charles was officially certified to wield the issued sidearms.

Lastly, Charles was taught how to transport a suspect. They started up the convoy again, this time with an armored transport van that Charles was going to drive. Four DOC officers participated in the training and went to Mission Row together. After a dummy 10-15 being inserted inside the back of the van, cuffed and shackled, they headed back to Bolingbroke. Charles relieved that he has finished all his required training now only had to wait for his promotion. It should just be a matter of time he thought. Finally, Charles finished the day with a visitation that he supervised.
