if you weren't in law enforcement...

A pimp. And I'd slap all you ho's.

Always wanted to do what I do now, but also had aspirations of going to medical school since I was a kid. I was most interested in sports medicine and research. Ahhhh, shoulda taken the military route after all.

Not a police officer. For public service I'd pick a fireman. But, I should have stayed career military. Maybe try all the branches. Most likely remain in the AF with a flying status assignment. Like the C-130 gunship or air refueling. Up and far away from people. Lots of perks world-wide when flying.

That's an easy one....rock star.

Army infantry. I went into the Army right out of high school and joined the infantry. I loved it!
But they discovered I had asthma (kinda hard to hide it when you have an asthma attack that lasts for 2 1/2 days) and I was discharged after basic. I actually graduated basic training, but the Col. at the VA told me that he did not want people with asthma in his army. I tried to re-enlist a couple of years later, but was told they would not take me. That or a fighter pilot in the USAF.

X-RAY tech. It was one of my choices when I joined the Army.

Military probably.


Or maybe a mechanical engineer. I'm good at math and hands on stuff.

After nearly 40 years in uniform, combined Police/Military, and I have ZERO regrets. I have more fond memories then should be allowed. I never became rich but I think I have made a difference.

If I could do it all over again, I would still have gone into the Marine Corps as a young man as I grew up more there then any other time in life. However, I would have completed college much sooner then I did allowing me to work in the "Behavioral Analysis Unit with the FBI. The FBI has four different departments within the Behavioral Science Unit, would want to rotate to all four. I find the work amazing, at some points all most scarey! Again I don't bleieve I would become rich but could make a big difference in protecting our children.
