Current LEO
I feel the same way. When I was younger i wanted to be an LE. But, after working with the public for 8 years or so I have a very low tolerance for BS and the general public. I dont have the patience or tolerance to do the job. If somebody called me a name i'd probably go off on them. I used to drive a retired CVPI and I was changing out my alternator in oreilys parking lot. These little punk looking kids called me a pig when they drove off. And I got dirty looks from the kids hanging out at sonic.
Once upon a time I was an Army MP, later Navy security forces (9545) amoung other things (AT, CC, PN) reserve officer in FL & WA. Was medically retired after 16 1/2 years active duty. Currently in school to become a counselor.
Thanks for the info. BB if you can talk to me for 5 min. you can talk to kids and get along with them just fine. After all my years of teaching, I find I have a fifth grade mind. I like their jokes and I find mysef laughing at the same things they do. It drives my wife wild, but she taught elementary school for 37 years and seems to handle it just fine.
Both. My teaching was in the U.S. Army as an instructor for Basic Non-Comissioned Officers in the MOS of 11C20/30. I taught for four years in Germany at Hohenfels training center. After I retired from the U.S. Army in 1997 I went to work for my home county in Georgia as a Deputy Sheriff. I spent five years working there before I got fed up with it. Just got tired of watching the "revolving door theory" at work.
Been trying to get my dad to sign up for OSA, no dice. Maybe if you had Mah Jong on here.
I am an officer of the Court, and I enforce the highest law of the land. 
Left my last agency in 1994. Left the USNR as an MA1 in 2000. Managed to finish my BA degree in CJ Administration in 2011 just to say I was done. Now I can use it and $1 to get a large diet coke at McDonalds. I've been in retail for the past 20 years and have never regretted leaving LE. I loved the job but in Missouri it never would have paid enough to support a family on more than a subsistence lifestyle and they deserved better.
Police Officers are so silly. Doughnut eating, coffee drinking, innocent citizen beating, dog killing punks..
