Hope he makes the best of it and tell him when you write that everyone here is thankful for such.

Old advise but it still works. Pay attention, follow instructions, stay invisible and don’t give the DI a reason to use your name on a regular basis. Key thought, a big part of the DI’s job is to cull out the weak sisters, misfits, nutters, dopers and ‘C‘ grade movie actors. Also, getting in shape will make the days go better and a lot easier; hope you like to run. They won’t ask the impossible but do expect and demand a solid commitment to make the effort and go the extra mile. Go get m’ Devil Dog and good luck, the adventure begins just then.
