Question for my fellow sheepdogs out there who wear both uniforms. How have been penalized for trying to use your experience or training in your agency? I once had an LT at my agency tell I did not get a position I interviewed for because I appeared to have more interest in my military career (reserves) than my law enforcement career...illegal as shit to say that or deny me a position based on that. So that’s my question after reading this great article.

Well, asking questions BEFORE you shoot someone would be a good lesson to learn…

SSG Steven Chirco it’s a term of “we’re special look at us”
Let’s not play silly games here. The moment you put yourself above those you serve you’re part of the problem.

Well, I never put myself above anyone and for you to come in and make that assumption, and I’m a fellow vet with 23 years, with no knowledge of me as a person...pretty tells me that on the streets you are part of the problem of not giving any law enforcement fair shake. And I’m guessing you have had some bad experiences with law enforcement and for that I am sorry. Not all law enforcement officers are the way you portray them in your mind and not all criminals are bad people. Most people break the law out of desperation and it’s a genuine mistake. But I’m not here to change your mind, I only hope I have opened your mind, one vet to a fellow vet. SFC Thomas Foreman

SSG Steven Chirco sooo you get all butthurt that I made an assumption about you then proceed to make numerous assumptions about me?
I’ve never had a negative interaction with the police, personally. My entire record consists of two traffic tickets. I happen to like the police and value them. I just happen to have this crazy notion that the people we hire for such a position of incredibly authority and responsibility should be 100% up to the job. Any verifiable hint of abuse or corruption and they should be gone. Period.
Fun fact: your veteran status means nothing to me. You stated an opinion on something, and being a veteran gives that opinion exactly zero extra weight. Everyone here is a veteran. I’ve got 23 years myself. Make your point, support it with facts, and prepare for the response.

your comment did not appear to address the actual question of the post. it seemed
more appropriate for a different kind of discussion. worthy of serious conversation.

Your story is one a hear a lot from my friends in the LE and Fire communities - I find it horrendous many departments care more about their staffing and progeny than service member contributions. I am fortunate in EMS this is less of an issue (but still one in many departments), I I think the first responder community in general could pick up a lot of things from our almost 2 decades of conflict.
