I can report that 70 certainly ain't like 60. 

Police phonetic alphabets are different, sometimes by location
I'm not a gun slut but I am absolutely a Hawaiian shirt slut. But they have to be all cotton, and they have to be actually made in Hawaii
That's easy - policing isn't the military. There are just south of 20,000 autonomous police agencies in the US; all can pick what form of communication they choose. There's no one, not even the President, with final authority to direct state and local police - that's up to state and local governments.Who can explain such weirdness? The US military frowns on such behavior.![]()
You said it better than I could - thank you.In m time on the Chicago PD I met many really good cops who could not pass a promotional exam, at least not high enough to get promoted off that list. Some of them were reservists,many with substantial active duty (the military reserve was a good part time job back then). Some of the guys who did not make high rank in the CPD did in the military. I was lucky I guess. During one of the riots in the 70s the Colonel in the illinois National Guard was a patrolman on the PD, ansd I was his boss back on the job. He was my CO in the Guard.
Although they are similar occupations in some respects, they are different skillsets requiring somewhat different leadership skills. However there were many good leaders on the job who never got promoted to high rank. Life is what happens when you have made other plans.
True story, there is a street that separates our apartments from the next complex over.I have been telling my daughter that “there’s no such thing as a bad neighborhood - just bad people and they can go anywhere” for decades.
It's actually quite accurate in the context used. Stop being offended by terms that accurate. Life isn't all sunshine and roses. We need words to describe the uglier aspects of life along with the good.OP I think you term is derogatory and no needed.
I been shooting for 65 years.......At no time have I ever been called a slut...........Iffen I had that person would have been taught some manners if in reach.........YOU TERM is derogatory and should have not been used......I was raised with better manners...........IT is NOT accurate in the way you used it,,,,,,,No matter how you pitched it......Mods should have cancelled your post.It's actually quite accurate in the context used.

At least in this context it means running around with different firearms and shooting them. Pretty benign activity. Cheaper too in the long run.
I've been shooting for about 15 years now, and I have a few carry gun options. My three standard guns, a pocket carried SP101 (recent addition), a 3" 686+/GP100, or a pair of M&P10MMs. The larger guns being carried at the same position (7:30) because of familiarity and practice with drawing them. All will function well in my hands.
I'll be 70 in a month. The last 5 definitely got my attention.I can report that 70 certainly ain't like 60.![]()
I can verify that 73 is quite a bit different than 63. Getting old ain't for sissies, but still, it is a privilege denied to many. The good news is that "Life in Prison" has less of a deterrent effect, so live it up!I can report that 70 certainly ain't like 60.![]()
I remember a movie back in the '80s was Jack lemmon, Walter backs out and I don't remember who's the third guy was but the premise of the movie is that they were all senior citizens and they were going to rob a bank.I can verify that 73 is quite a bit different than 63.

Was it " Grumpy old men" ??I remember a movie back in the '80s was Jack lemmon, Walter backs out and I don't remember who's the third guy was but the premise of the movie is that they were all senior citizens and they were going to rob a bank.
The idea of being that they got away with robbing the bank they'd be set for life.
If they got caught they would go to a minimum security prison due to their age and lack of prior criminal history. Where they would receive food, housing and medical treatment for the rest of their lives.
I don't remember how the movie ended and I wish I remembered the name of the movie
No. I think that was Ann-Margret, Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. I almost want to say the other one was Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon and Art CarneyWas it " Grumpy old men" ??
Going In Style?No. I think that was Ann-Margret, Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. I almost want to say the other one was Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon and Art Carney
