Old things new...
I guess I have been registered on here for quite some time, but I have rarely logged on. I suppose there were reasons enough for that, as well as using this log-on (a play on my last name). I've been assured those reasons are a thing of the past, so here I am.
Many will know me by "Switchback". I would have registered with it, but my email already had this name on it. Ah well.
Anywho, for those who don't know me, I am a U.S. Marshal. I have been doing it for about 14 years now. I've been doing fugitive work exclusively for a long time now. I did a stint as a sniper on our Special Operations Group for many years, doing a little of this and that here and there. I recently gave it up for a promotion and just do the hide-and-seek thing these days.
Well, that's that... nothing much else to me. I'll get to work on the verification thing next.

delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which

Hello and welcome back from Louisiana.
SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.
-General Omar Bradley, United States Army

Glad to see you!

Welcome
Just because your sign off after you're shift is done, doesn't mean that it's over and put blinders on. You're a cop 24/7 wether you like it or not. If thats something you can't handle, you should find a new line of work!

Thanks for the great welcome, guys (and gals).
FYI, Reca offered to change my name. While I was not going to bother him with asking, I certainly will take him up on the offer... so, expect to see Switchback floating around here soon.

...and is it just me, or are there a lot of (presumably) LSU fans around here?!?!?!
Don't worry... I am not hating. While a little fanatical down there, I feel a bit of connection after all the time I have spent, hanging out in Louisiana over the years.

For some random unfathomable reason, there happens to be a huge number of LEOs from Louisiana on this site. They have been affectionately nicknamed the Swamp Mafia. Originally Posted by Sweet_thing
