John,
been on the job for 27 years here in South Florida, if I didn't have 2 young kids I would have retired, I'm going to stick it out for another 4 or 5 years unless that bird flu thing hits. Then who knows

My kid like most want to be a cop too!, but I think I'm going to steer him to being a fireman.

Its funny our office is next to the fire station and you see these big guys running up and down stairs carrying 50 lbs. hoses, pushing cars around the parking lot etc... but when the sh_t hits the fan they stage outside the area until we tell them its safe to come in and treat the wounded.

One of the few jobs I know where you get paid to sleep and work on your own car or boat.

Jim
