So, you were just an SP (e.g: AF cop?) Now that explains a LOT!
Reminds me of the time some pompous jackass SP who was publically
chewing out a mechanic at the front gate simply for having a bit of
grease on his uniform.

Witnessing this, Dad unhesitantly threw the 64' Ford Galaxy 500
station wagon into park, got out of the car and walked over to the cop
and commenced to tear the SP a new one.

Can't remember exactly what he said, but it had something to do with
the mechanic's job of ensuring that the multi-million dollar jets that
he flew were airworthy while the lowly cop's job was to simply stand
there waving cars on through.

In other words, now I see why, for the most part, he despised
cops,...especially asshole cops like YOU.

I was an SP augmentee in 1975. That's as close as I ever got to being a cop. On
the other hand a security manager is an additional duty assigned to at least
one NCO in a unit. Since I was in aircraft maintenance that meant I had to be
familiar with flightline regs and was expected to enforce them which I did
before and after my stint a security manager.

Even if I believed half of the stories you have told us you would have to be in
your fifties at least. Time for you to act your age.
