What a week, eh? Just about every major U.S. city is under siege but when violence breaks out in Des Moines, Iowa, well, things have truly gone sideways, haven't they?

^1967 and 2020....proving that everything is cyclical.
Look at how fast this tinderbox ignited. The incident occurred on Monday; four days later, the police station went up in flames.
Is this week a precursor to the boogaloo? Or isolated civil disobedience? Only time will...Leave a comment:

Detroit is hiring 300 officers.
You'll be baptized in teeth and blood on Day One.

My three academies at the Center of Excellence:
Academy #1, circa mid 1990s: 14 weeks, housed in the original crackhouses (now agency offices).
Everyone had their own room in what was family housing when the center was the Glynco Naval Air Station. In each unit, one lucky student...Leave a comment:

The locker room in the athletic building reeks like a porta potty in July. The Student Center is called the G Bar for a reason- it's all dudes, all the time. The many miles of trails are mosquito and gnat infested swamps. So take that 'rest and relaxation' part with a grain of salt....Leave a comment:

I'm of the opinion to hold the GOP convention and jam 40,000 people in an arena, just to see what happens. If no outbreak follows, then lets fill football stadiums and get the Rolling Stones back on tour.
BUT... let's think security. What if DNC dark arts operatives intentionally get infected...Leave a comment:

Correction: further review identified Lincoln imposed martial law during the Civil War- however the Supreme Court held it unconstitutional where local civilian courts were still operating. So technically, martial law has been previously imposed on the entire country (but was knocked down). -
Article today in the NYTimes about mounting concerns over a not-so-smooth November. The article predicts the 2020 election will mirror 1876, where Governor Samuel Tilden of New York didn't concede to Governor Rutherford Hayes of Ohio until two days before inauguration and President Ulysses S. Grant...Leave a comment:

Let's parse out the Fletc romances a bit more. It's worth discussing, because if no one can leave, then the issue of inter-classmate amorous activity will be an even bigger aspect of the training experience.
Typically, Fletc romances take the following shapes:
1. Genuine. These...Leave a comment:

So two weeks of chillin', then 12 weeks of CITP, then agency add-on of another 12 weeks.... that's 26 weeks of classroom, mat room, gun range, dorm room and not much else. God bless.
Safe assumption: Amazon trucks won't be allowed on campus.
So what you arrive with is all...Leave a comment:

A friend of mine was ROTC in college, went to Amsterdam on spring break his senior year and did Amsterdam things. Graduated college, was commissioned, picked up a couple of SF tabs, completed a couple of tours in Iraq. Gets out and starts applying to the usuals. Admits during BIs to his youthful indiscretions...Leave a comment:

My bunion is telling me the next couple of years are going to be like 2008-2009... municipal bankruptcies and receiverships, hiring freezes, mandatory pay cuts and furlough days, underfunded pensions, and lots of 24 year olds looking for a job, any job....
By 2022, the tide will turn, as...Leave a comment:

The place has its own lingo. Frogs are fat retired old guys. Scale is subjective degree of attractiveness. -
Officer A is closing in on the $500,000 mark and he hasn't even been terminated, only suspended. 12,000 people (who he's never met) have donated. That's quite the accomplishment.
Reminds me a situation I am familiar with: Mr. W, my 7th grade science teacher. Mr. W was a total creeper (I'm...Leave a comment:

Ratatatat's FIRE (Financial Independence/Retire Early) advice to all LEOs at O.com:
1. Log in to your IRA account. If the balance is more than half a million dollars, disregard. Congratulations... you'll be enjoying a nice retirement!
2. If you have less than half a million... -
$430,000 in one GoFundMe account, $50,000 in another, and this story is only a week old. Posting that anti-health order video may be the best thing that ever happened to Officer Anderson!

High. 7.2 on the outside, 8.5 at the center.
Had some real issues though. Like self-hate, hence the open affair with a married dude... -
^Solid inside info. Where you involved in any of the planning? What about DT and PT and the pressed ham locker room?
RE: No more staff in the Student Center. That should've been done YEARS ago. Not just the frogs who get their drink started everyday at 4:30 but all staff. Alcohol-based...Leave a comment:
