[QUOTE="CGS1, post: 3241097, member: 42767"] Congrats brother on 30 years. I am retired now. The wife ask me from time to time if I miss the job. I do miss the the guys I worked with through out the years, we still keep in touch and remain brothers. What I dont miss is dealing with roaches and bottom feeders on a daily basis. Like yourself I done a lot of stuff in the course of my years, patrol officer, lieutenant, narcotics detective, assistant chief. It was definitely a ride as you well know how the ride can be. For the folks not in law enforcement they dont understand what you go through just doing your job. All the late nights,paperwork till 4am then back at work at 7am.. missing out on family stuff because you have to work. Having to be in court ON YOUR DAY OFF. Meeting people for the first time when they have a problem and want you to fix it. Then you take their problem to jail and all of the sudden your the bad guy, POS, SOB for taking their now pillar of society problem to jail. Hearing the call on the radio shots fired, you get there as fast as you can to find that two of your fellow brothers are laying in the yard dead all because a POS didn't want to go to jail. Yep just because he didn't want to go to jail. You wonder how someone could be so selfish to take 2 lives just because he didn't want to go to jail. Puts a lot of questions in you mind. You wonder sometimes is it all worth it, what would happen to my family if something was to happen to me? But every once in a while you get to help someone and make a difference. And those are the times you realize why you do what you do. You definitely don't do it for the pay. And you do it day after day with no thanks and knowing thats just how it is. Yea its a ride, all you can do is try to make your ride as smooth for yourself as you can and do what ever you have to do to get back home to your family in one piece at the end of your shift. Thank you brother for your years of service. I will go 10-7 now. [/QUOTE]
