assistant: -Something is wrong here.  I have read many of these posts, and only have one
thing to say.  It is not any of Mr. Hunter's business whether you served in
law enforcement or not.  That record need only be proven to prospective
employers, for positions that you apply for, not to someone who has
absolutely no right to force you to prove otherwise. For example, I served
for 10 and a half years in the military.  I don't have to prove that service
record to anyone but prospective employers, or to the Department of Veterans
Affairs itself.  But I am quite sure that I can pull mountains of paperwork
ranging from the Pentagon, Department of the Army, ARPERCEN out of St. Louis,
Mo., as well as the Department of Veterans Affairs.  Petty bickering over who
is actually a real LEO or not has no value or sustainment in this conference.
 Please note, Mr. Hunter, you can not forcibly make someone prove their
service record, unless you want the same thing to return to you.  Have a
great day :}  Lori
