When I got out of the Corps I had the bright idea, like many Marines, to try my hand at law enforcement. I made it almost 5 years in when politics and a departmental need for "officers with a softer approach" pushed me out. I can't count how many times I was asked to stand outside of a crime scene and never allowed to make death notifications to families because of my lack of fucks with how I come across. Even officers that claimed to have a dark sense of humor would look at me like I jizzed in their grandma's casket when I would vocalize my thoughts.
I think it would be funny as shit to see an episode of the transition from Marine to cop through you funny fuckers point of view.
This concludes my period of who give a fuck.

You’re not the only one who’s been fooled into thinking the military will provide a seamless transition into law enforcement.

In truth, they are VERY different careers that need VERY different skill sets. “Protect and serve” looks way different than “kill”. But a political class increasingly divorced from the realities of military service, the shrinking lobbying power of vet organizations (who themselves seem unable to connect with post 9/11 vets), and an economy that doesn’t have the tools to translate military skills into civilian employment, has led tons of veterans like you to look for an equivalence where there isn’t any. The consequences of this lack of communication between civilian and military worlds has brought us the militarization of police, a growing homeless veteran population, and the squandered potential of the VERY SAME TROOPS everyone likes to say they support unconditionally.

I got some thoughts, here, is what I’m sayin.

You should def give USBP a shot bro.
