Using sentences, correct grammar, and spelling would be a good starting point.

Additionally, consider capital letters where appropriate.

Lemon- just honestly, in your own words state why you would want to take on the challenge of police work with a canine partner. How about your previous experiences with dog training or maybe just your favorite pet growing up, or that you never had one, etc., etc. Once you get going I'm sure you won't have too many problems coming up with reasons of why you would be right for this added responsibility.

Congratulations! Get in contact with this Marine..http://www.leatherneck.com/forums/member.php?u=44153. He just recently went through the course and did very well from my recollection of postings. He seems like he's good to go and will probably be more than willing to give you some advice. Congrats again!
