ok, no biggie, was just curious
ah, ok... so no prior service beforehand. i had a few teammates who went the contractor route after service and a few who went other routes along the same lines.My Grandfather and his friends introduced me to that world. I was gonna take a year off to go surf the world before college. Then he suggested I go make some money and then go to college. Well college never happened and am happily retired at 45. So I made atleast 1 somewhat good decision in my life.
i almost went into law enforcement. but back then our county wouldnt take you fresh out of service with certain MOS's. had to wait a year beforehand. got hired and scheduled for an academy slot but turned it down in the long run. i realized i was ready to decompress and not be in that semi-military atmosphere any longer......lol... so gradually put all that behind me and became a beatnik artist hippy type.....not retired, but no regrets, and a lot of good memories and experience'sEven as a LEO I was bored and didn't get along with alot of my fellow officers.
