Congrats Joel. Will you be changing your screen name to PearlCopYMCA?
1. ALWAYS, ALWAYS wear your vest. No matter what. If you cannot, call in sick.
Always wear your vest. But just as important, ALWAYS wear your backup gun.

Curt, Dave, Jeremy......ya'll are some bastards.
Everyone else, thanks for the well wishes and advice.
Last night was the most fun somebody can have with their clothes on. I stayed out way past when I said I was gonna just because I didn't want to leave.
How long ya hang out by Ole Hickory ? LOL.... When they going to send you to POST ?
But damn it- I just can't force myself to support the Southern Poverty Law Center- the makers of this video. They dislike people like us as much as the nutjobs who committed these horrible acts. Believe that. I really wish he hadn't lent his name to them....
I know. "Don't hate the messenger." But still- I'm very surprised they left out mentioning the NRA....
March...
March...
Congrats on your new role. I hope the excitement never fades for you. Please stay safe and the only advice I would render, from an "ole headknocker" to perhaps a new headnocker , would be to NEVER retreat from your integrity and honesty. It is what seperates you from the animals, the only thing that does so in many cases.
Nolacop mentioned a "line you don't cross". You'll see that line soon enough I'll bet. That means, imo, that you don't let the officers around you cross it either. Stear clear of those who do and don't be afraid to report what you've seen. You'll be the much better for it in the long run, and so will the community you are swearing an oath to serve.
Stay safe and good luck.
Oleheat: I too don't particularly care much for the extreme left agenda behind SPLC, but when I see a copy of their "Intelligence Report" publication laying around the office, I pick it up and read it. Although they have a very slanted perspective, lots of the information is good in general, and I also consider it a "know your enemy" type of research, considering how they feel about and categorize "patriot" and "nativist" groups with whom I often find myself in agreement with.
