Semper Fi - The idea is only as good as the team.

In all, we are not a very kind people to one another and that will eventually become our demise.

I couldn't of found a more profound statement! No one ever thinks it will be them... In our profession there's more than on the job injuries against us; the life expectancy is one of the worst! So if an Officer lives to retire the years are statistically numbered. The other focal point is that a great number of Officers change their profession due to a number of different reasons.

What does this leave, well that's a rhetorical question; it leaves exactly what federal, state and local governments want - young men and women who think they're invincible and aren't worried about retirement or injury. Even if they read this note they'd shrug it off and go with the blind trust and empty promises... Semper Fi the idea is only as good as the team.
