MIL/LEO - any interest in a separate discussion section?

[98Z5V]

All MIL/LEO personnel:  Any interest in setting up a separate MIL/LEO section on the board here?  It would take me about 5 minutes to set it up. 

Lots of places have it, and it's beneficial for discussion that wouldn't necessarily be appropriate for an open forum, in some cases.  If it's created, should access be limited to verified MIL/LEO personnel, or should it be wide open to the general public?  Opinions, please.

Let's hear from the MIL/LEO folks on this.

I love the idea.

I'm LE and I see no reason why it should be made "exclusive". It takes away the advantage of civies being able to bounce questions off guys in the field.

We're resourceful enough that if we have a confidential  comment/question/remark we can find ways to do it.

[98Z5V]

Alright, subtle tactics are a fukkin' No Go.  Mil and LEO, identify yourselves, so I can place you into the proper grouping here. 

One response in the whole thing? Pathetic.  Cut the poop, out yourself, or send me a PM about it all, if you're not comfortable doing it publicly.  I'll get you where you need to be.  MIL and LEO conversations don't need to be public, all the time.  Much of it needs to be private, between us.  We'll decide if we need to bleed it over to the public realm. 

I know you're out there, you bunch of damn stalkers...

OK, help with the acronims ( MIL/LEO) what the heck is this.

[weaponizer]

I'm military...

[6132expert]

Ok, I figured the MIl as military but I could not figure out what the LEo was. Thanks for the confusion buster.

I am prior military ( Marine )

[98Z5V]

Wow, almost had to go Full Drill Sergeant there...  <dontknow> <laughs>

I knew I'd get a response that way, and I was hoping it wouldn't have been negative.  My apologies for sounding like a jackarse about it...

It's set up, and those identified have access (or will in a few more minutes).  I'll get more info up in there...  <thumbsup>

[Madhouse]

I'm now scared of 98Z after that outburst.    <laughs>

[imschur]

<laughs>

[edgecrusher]

Want to go on record thanking all who serve for my freedoms. I realized to late in life, (actually when freed by my divorce ) that it was the one thing I wish I had done. I took the state trooper exam here in Massachusetts and scored a 97 out of 100 but budget cuts have prevented them from hiring. After this spring I will be to old. You guys sacrificed it all for us civies and we thank you

[6132expert]

Heck I tried to go on with county and city and failed the phyco exame on both. I had just got out of the Corps and I guess I was just to hard to deal with the everyday crap from the bad guys. I am the kind that if someone get confertational then the best thing to do is pistol whip that ass.

[Matt.Cross]

I was talking to the NC State Troopers about hiring on, ultimately I decided against it. Had I been making the decision alone, I would have done it, but I have a family and that played a large part in deciding not to. I do appreciate those who have served immensely though. Anyone with civil service or military service is always welcome to enjoy meals or lodging at my expense, regardless of retired or current service status.

[6132expert]

Well Matt if you put it like that. Go ahead and book me a vacation package to the Keys. <lmao>

[mac83]

I'm military, (Marine).  Just getting started here, and will post an intro shortly.

[survivalshop]

Hay, I'm ex Navy , does that count . It was a long time ago & I'm pretty sure it did happen .  <dontknow>

Just don't yell at me any more ,I've grown sensitive .<laughs>

[Madhouse]

That counts plenty!

And don't worry, his bark is way worse than his bite.

[98Z5V]

mac83 & ss - changed both of you.  survivalshop - it doesn't look like anything changed in your visible profile, because your primary member group is Tactical Mod.  Your secondary membergroup is now MIL/LEO, though.  <thumbsup>
