 Mike Hubbard, a retired Field Operations Supervisor, takes us through his twenty-plus-year career with the US Border Patrol. From Trainee to Agent to Supervisor, and later as a rehire Academy Instructor.Throughout this journey, the reader will come to understand the hiring process and the time spent at the Border Patrol Academy as a trainee. Once in the field, the reader will come to understand what the Border Patrol does and how it accomplishes its mission.Throughout the book, Mike uses short stories to reveal aspects of the job that can’t be taught, explained, or even made up. These stories highlight real incidents from his twenty-year career that were funny, sad, heartbreaking, and deeply moving. At best, most of them could be described by a common law enforcement saying, 'Stuff happens!' or, in this case, 'Stuff you just can’t make up.'
