Outstanding source of information for veterans and anyone else interested in a LEO career. I am retired USMC and Retired LEO. Not by choice am I retired. Repetitive back injuries helped do that.

All good information. I was active duty as Security Police/Forces for six years. Left active duty and went into the AF Reserves. While in the Reserves, I applied to the State Police and was hired. I enjoy the two. I have my AF Reserve pension (only have 5 years left till retired) and I am working on my State Police career and pension too. I think it is the best of both worlds. Plus the State is very supportive of my military commitment.
