I canât count the number of times Iâve been traveling and Iâm walking down the street and a hooker asks me if Iâm a cop. I'm not a cop, but I used to get asked that all the time. I got that when I was a 19 year old kid before I went to MCRD even. I still get it every once in a while.

30 years ago I was robbed while working the night shift at a convenience store in a rough part of town.
That really did wonders for my situational and environmental awareness that is still with me today, even more so.

There was a cop who walked a beat outside my office.
He always looked as if he was sleepwalking, staring off into the distance.
One day on afternoon coffee break I came out my office and said ‘Hi’ as I passed him.
Without ever looking directly at me, but still scanning the street over the top of my head, he responded, “Going to get your M&Ms with peanuts?”

On the rare occasions I go anywhere, I figure everyone is a nutcase, and if they come at me, I will draw my firearm and plant them.I was looking for the T-Shirt that said "I'm too young to die and too old to fight - I'll just kill you". Maybe it was pulled for legal reasons.
I did find this one though (but I'm CCW and don't want to tip my hand):

I think you will enjoy it.
I understand it is (or was) required reading at one or more of the military academies. It is an enjoyable novel that exudes lessons about leadership, two army officers with contrasting methods.
Also talks about some of the timeless themes of the sacrifices and stresses of military families and living in a military environment, military politics, and so on. Being a military brat, I can attest to the accuracy of the themes...:)
My wife is teaching herself to paint, and just painted this for me the other day, so you can see this book is one of my favorites:

I didn't even think about it, but that Marine swagger also comes across and tells criminals that is guy is one to avoid.

Like a lot of things, to be successful at it, and find utility in it, you have to habitualize it, and that isnât a natural thing.Sooo...speed traps are like ambushes. You can develop ( ie train ) a sense for it. Some states engineer them into the highways (VA, TN for sure). There's plenty of opportunity for learning, and the skills are transferrable. Just think things through.
