I do remember people saying that they didn't think that I should be on the job. Most of those gentlemen were polite. They expressed their opinion and told me straight out, but didn't hold it against me. And didn't make my life a living hell. But I don't think that as not being flattering.
Troopers care about each other.
A lot of the guys when I first came on were older and had daughters. So I think, sure they were looking out for me. I don't think that's a bad thing. But I'm a fairly aggressive person. I've never backed down from anything.
