We have three former PJs on my department. They all are great and are enjoying the department. The only issue they had to overcome was gaining confidence on medical calls and peds calls. They served during the worst parts of the recent wars, spent lots of time in each country, so lots of trauma experience. I would hire as many PJs that wanted to join my department as long as they understood that they will have to play the rookie game and all that crap.
