About Me
DISCLAIMER: Since someone unknown hacked into my PL account sometime this summer, I have made my pics and bio available only to invited friends and I changed my password. I have no doubt who did this along with some other identity-theft type actions that occurred at about this same period of time, but I can't prove it, so I won't make accusations so oh well. I DO recommend that EVERYONE closely monitor what is posted in your name, as people who are or used to be close to you can figure out common passwords and personal info (your mother's maiden name, first pet, first car, etc.) and this could be an attempt to embarass. So accordingly, unless I otherwise specifically indicate to the contrary, all opinions, posts, views and positions stated hereon are my own and do not in any way represent the views or bear any connection to my present employer (I am an honorably-retired Chief of a law enforcement agency in NC, hence "Chief"). Here is my bio: I am 46, single and I am retired from the US Army. I was on active status when I was hurt in Iraq, so I retired from active duty. I was as an MP Master Sgt (E-8) w/25 years total service (active Army & USMC, Army Guard and USMC Reserve), including the Gulf War 90-91 in Saudi, Bosnia Operation in Europe 96-97 & most recently Iraq 04-06 when I retired. I am a former US Marine MP! Parris Island, OOH-RAH! I am now in Civil Air Patrol, fun fun, though I am just a patron member now that I am no longer in Galena. I'm 10th generation born in VA, Scottish, Dutch, English and some Native American-Cherokee Indian (1/32nd) 3 generations back. I've been a civie cop since 84 (where did the time go?) and I was POST academy trained just before I got out of the Corps. I was a NC State Trooper, municipal PD Officer & Sgt., county sheriff's detective and most recently, I retired as Chief of an NC independent school dist. campus PD in 07 to move to AK. In addition to the NC POST training-BLET in 84, I graduated the NC State Trooper School in Raleigh in 85 and I also completed out-of-state officer conversion academy at the Alaska Trooper Academy in Sitka AK, 08 (2 weeks). Excluding MP training, this was my third law enforcement training academy. Including EMT and fire training, I have about 4400 hours.For 12 years, I was off w/pay in the summers (school dist-teacher schedule) so I spent at least 3 weeks each summer in some type of training I enrolled myself in. I have been an instructor since 98 in in NC: Army, FEMA, FLETC, S&W and now here in AK. I taught at the regional police and fire-rescue training academy in NC, for the Army and in several state conferences, where I presented on safe schools. As Chief of Hoonah AK PD, I put on my agency's training in-house (in-service and firearms) and I do investigations and I'm the hostage negotiator now that I am Chief of my Police Department in SE AK, after leaving a 2/5 year tour as chief in the Interior AK middle Yukon River area, halfway between Nome and Fairbanks. Hoonah is a 20-min flight or 3-HR ferry ride from Juneau, a town of 850, mostly fishing though cruise ships stop there several times a week in warm weather, adding up to 3000 people on the waterfront for 8 or so hours! The dept has 3 officers, a reserve, 4 dispatchers and there is a wildlife AK trooper posted there. The USFS LEO from Juneau also comes there from time to time. HPD patrols the adjacent US Forest Service Roads too. I am excited with this new move. I am a former DARE Officer and I have extensive background as a traffic officer, S.R.O., D.A.R.E. Officer, homicide investigator and I have 3 specialized police training certificates of 400-hours from the NC Justice Academy: Community Policing, Criminal Investigation and SRO. I am also an AK and NC EMT. I was an accident investigator in NC and state-certified criminal investigator. I worked also as a detective. I also have my AK Advanced Police Certificate along with the 2 advanced NC law enforcement Certificates (Police Standards Commission, 95, and the Sheriff's Commission, 93). I got my AK general law enforcement certificate in June of 08, along with the advanced, so I now have 3 advanced polce certificates. I also have my BS and some MS credit. I am an instructor and have several train-the-trainers, incuding firearms, DV, counter-terrorism, community policing, active shooter response and school safety & community emergency planner and counter-terrorism. I did a State Dept. mission on counter-terror training in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova. That was so fun, an incredible place but very poor. I also served as an MP in Japan, Germany, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. I have some credit for my Master right now w/12 credits through Norwich University. Alaska is awesome. I can't begin to describe the life here, it is so cool (literally), though unlike my old Interior area at -60 in winters, the SE never gets brutally cold or horribly hot. No clouds of bugs in Hoonah and no moose either but eagles and otter are common. Grizzly bears are EVERYWHERE! I love being a cop and a Chief here in AK. I love my dogs and enjoying life in beautiful Alaska. Politics: Let me sum it up: Gun control is the ability to hit your target! You want more gun control? Move to Mexico where it is so safe!
Hobbies:
Patch Collecting, Badge Collecting, Shooting, Travel (all over AK, the USA and the world), shooting, training (conduct and receive), studying, making new friends, supporting Governor Sarah Palin as Alaska's great Chief Executive, exploring, learning & fun
Favorite Movies:
We were Soldiers, Gone with the Wind, Beverly Hills Cop, LA Confidential, Tombstone, Sands of Iwo Jima, High Noon, Full Metal Jacket, Saving Pvt Ryan, Longest Day, The Green Berets, original Walking Tall, The Untouchables, Dead Bang and Dirty Harry
Favorite TV Shows:
NYPD Blue, Cops, L&O SVU (but the liberal political messsage sux), Two and a half men, The Shield (gotta love hating Vic!), Hill Street Blues reruns, Miami Vice reruns (80s rule), History Channel, Nancy Grace, House (he's so rude!), ER (screw the gun cont
Favorite Music:
Rap and techno are not Music!I like C&W , jazz, R&B, 80's-retro and bluegrass
