Is "none of the above" supposed to be the poll's control so that you can determine what percentage of responders are LEO/military/first responders in relation to the respondents? (People who aren't LEO, etc choose that one.)

Or is it supposed to be another affirmative response so that all responders to the poll are LEO/military/first responders? (People who are LEO/military/first responders not otherwise classified choose that option and people who aren't LEOs, etc do not respond at all.)

US Army 90-94, most of it in the Middle East. I enjoyed it over there but it wasnt like it is now. I was stationed at Ft Hood the whole time and have heard they locked it down. When I was there it had a freeway feeding right in and no gates to speak of. I was in 546th PSC then was stolen by 15th PSC 3Corps HQ. Literally their Cdr told our Cdr "He is coming with us when we get back, get over it." Cool with me, they had nicer barracks. The weapons thing is new too, sort of. Private weapons were allowed but had to go to the armory. I got caught with mine in the barracks and got 3 days confinement, in my room. 3 days off with cable!

Not a swabby in the bunch.

US Navy '68 - '74. Did not serve in Vietnam, so I call myself a "Vietnam-era" veteran. I would have made it a career if they hadn't spent so much time irritating me. :lol:

I didn't see my category, but I am a former volunteer fireman, former professional fireman, former ems/rescue, and current commissioner (treasurer) of our county ESD which handles funding for all the fire departments in our county... as well as a whole lot of other duties (non paying job).
