Our government continues to be stupid. 37 years of age???
I am 64, resaonably healty, could kill most 37 year olds with my bare hands, retired , expert marksman, doctors degree, know where all the vital body spots are, have the guts to use the knowledge, will work for 1/4 of what they'll have to pay, and enjoy the vacation. To look at me you'd never suspect, I look helpless.
How many more out there like me?
Guys like me are perfect for this duty.
Heck, you would be better than perfect, because the terrorists would turn their backs on "old grand dad".
Then "old grand dad" puts terrorist #1 in a chokehold from behind, and uses his body as a shield while capping #2, #3 and #4 with head shots!
Guys like you can't get in 20 years by age 57 to retire at halfpay. 57 is the Feeral LEO max - a lot of people by then have serious problems or they're coming soon. LEOs health breaks down about 10 years before the average citizen. That's the reason for the seemingly arbitrary 37 limit - they want people for whom it'll be a career - not that you can't be double-tough waaayy past 57...
