How come these folks never pose as POL clerks or Legal Specialists?

Or maybe Ethel Murmon...

Might be a good punishment for em.

Have them all brainwashed into believing they were either Ethel Murmon or Richard Simmons and then put em all on an island somewhere and let em sing and sweat to the oldies till they dropped every day... ;)

To most civilian HR types, "Fire Support" means you're a volunteer fireman.

On one interview I went to right after I retired, the HR flunky asked me what I did in the Army. I replied, "Jumped out of airplanes, killed people and broke their shit. Led and directed others to accomplish that mission."

I didn't get a call back. Can't figure out why.

Yeah...AATARS converts 11B to police officer...probably not a good idea for most of us.

Must have been a drastic change in training for 11B since I was there, I was trained to always throw a grenade in the room before entering, that and the POW training doesn't exactly match law enforcement criteria.
I guess the protect and serve part meshes. Still doubt I'd make a week as cop!

Becoming a cop is like taking a job shoveling out the Mississippi. The more you hope to do when you begin, the more it crushes you when you realize that you are all alone and fighting a war no one will let you win.

I was lucky to survive. Not the streets, that was easy. Losing the faith and diving into a bottle - THAT'll kill ya.

As to faking military experience, that is sad. I never was in, and to tell you the truth, it is one of my life's regrets, but it is too late for that. The guy sounds like he has a self image problem that has hit pathological levels.
