Thanks to all,
In answer to your question, Chris, yes and no. My nine years in the US Army were as a Military Policeman, 6 years as a combat/line patrol and my last 3 in garrison as a certified Traffic Accident Investigator. Sadly, injuries prevented me from being able to continue my military career or to pursue a career in civilian law enforcement.
For a period of time I drove tractor trailers across the country, (both yours and mine), and "Lawman" was my CB handle, as my co-driver was a former medic and went by "Doc".
Shortly after, I started working in the armed security field for the US Army, and am still enjoying it. Imagine all of the authority and none of the politics! Couple that with staying out of the elements, a government paycheck and pension, and I'd be a fool to leave.
While an accident investigator, my radio call sign was "Tango 56". Hence, "Lawman56".
Ironically, while modelling in 1/35 AFVs, my brilliant mind concluded that 1/32 aircraft couldn't be too hard, considering it's almost 1/35.
After building, painting, stripping paint, and repainting an "easy" Tamiya Spit MkIXc, I have since rethought that brilliant idea. A couple successful builds under my belt, and again, the introduction of WNW, and I'm ready to break, I mean build, something different!
