The Sheriff and my parents were part of the founding group of our New church. We knew each other very well. His son and I were the same age. I loved to shoot pistols and was looking for local teams to join. There wen't any. One day while talking about pistol teams with my friend he told me he had become a Reserve officer and they wanted to start a pistol team. I joined up. The team never got off the ground. But LE reserve work started. I would have rather worked full time as an LE if the pay had been better.


The first observed difference on the job was, when I went to a bar it was to have specific patrons line up against the wall after the fight.
A life long friend was Air Force security and after retiring he became a full time deputy retiring as Captain this year. I told him it was odd to see him behind the badge since he was a tad bit wild our youth. He told me he just got tired of riding in the back seat of a cruiser and straightened up to get in the front seat.
