Doesn't the Killeen IO Chapter have MPs in it? What about "the Private", isn't she an MP? Aren't you an ex-MP?
My appeal with the dla took place right about the same time. Yes the killeen chapter has Military police in it, but being a military policeman means absolutely nothing off post. Usually it means that they get a ticket and not a warning, because they should have known better.

I am not and have never been a police officer. Military or otherwise. I was a mechanic in the Army, and a mechanic before that.

Actually it means they carry that attitude with them EVERYWHERE. I have always found MP's, especially in the rank of E-4 and below to have the worst attitude and God help you if they have corporal stripes.

Does that qualify as a LEO club? I dunno, you've already seen how they blow each other in for not wearing a safety vest, what would happen if you had a beer? Not the kind of people I would want to be around because they have no loyalty to the club or the club members which is kind of the whole point of it isn't it?

Your signature is why I assumed you were LE.

Fair enough, I'll make sure my OL doesn't join, she would just add to the drama.

Maybe you could write one of those "biker expose" books. You already have half the manuscript finished. It doesn't have to be true, you can just make up stuff like the other people who have written those books. Outsiders never know the difference.

I believe I can consider that a good thing, not meeting the minimum standard for bullshit tolerance.
