Whatever works for you big guy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Don't do it GF, i know some good people who have become cops, and none of them are good people anymore -- and some of them are my relatives aack! but really, who needs all the rules and the drama and the b.s... besides, it's more fun on this side of the law, tee hee...

You tell him dogg!

+1 on what dog said!!!


BUT

If it is what ya REALLY wanna do, then go for it!!!

I was the first in my family to sit in the "Front" seat of a police car....It really isn't a bad job...I am just getting bored, after everything I have done to just go to school and be a sheep again is KILLING ME!!!

Holy Smokes GF - you sound like you're almost ready for the "rubber gun squad" already! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Just because you aren't wearing a uniform and sporting a badge doesn't mean you are a sheep. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

GF - have you ever considered becoming a Game Warden ? A Cop in the Great Outdoors!

Oh yeah!!! I just got some contact information on that today!

I say go for it. There are ton of low life dregs out there and we can always use more police officers. I applaud those who step up, police and military. I have two relatives who are police, one a reserve on the Ovila force, and like sr77dog said, he is not good people, but he was not good poeple before he was police. But he gets my support for doing the job. My fathers cousin was police chief in Segoville, an arms instructor for the FBI and worked security for the Rail Road before he got his law degree and became a lawyer. The one job he always wanted to do was a game warden. They carry lots of power <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I have one cousin stationed somewhere in Missouri that flew A10's in the sandbox and my other cousin is now teaching officer school in Alabama for the Air Force. He applied for a job that sent him to school for two years to get his PHD so he could teach. He has a cush job now. But I ramble..........

Good luck to you

Game warden's an idea -- and better scenery... Or another idea, i have some friends who were LRPs in Vietnam and wanted to still fight the fight, but on their terms, so they contract privately to the gov't, as a 3 or 6 person team depending on the job, doing things like hostage extraction, armed stand-off resolution, etc. basically like a cross between private investigators and a s.w.a.t. team. They needed a point man a while back... I don't know, just an idea, something like that might be fun and definitely satisfy the need for an adrenaline fix...

That would be a huge rush...it's like riding motorcycle 200mph for months , then to come back here and go mainstream...it is depressing.....the thrill is gone. Game Warden does look like it could be fun, around here during hurricane season!

Technically, here in Missouri they are empowered to uphold any law in the state. How's that for a power trip ?!
