    I’m a combat veteran and the fact that cops aren’t held to half the standards I was drives me nuts.

      Vet as well that worked with a few police departments and was planning to transfer to a department post service. I was completely dismayed that I had better training in every single aspect of policing than the departments I had worked with, as a combat arms trade.

      Needless to say, but I didn’t become a cop.

        The fire service also usually gives preference points to veterans.

        Although I don’t know why anyone would want higher pay, better benefits, and people not hating them.
