    New Military cop here...

    Hey all. Just introducing myself. I'm not a civilian PD, but I am Air Force police. I have been an MP for 14 years and have 12 credits until my bachelors in Criminal Justice. I am a career cop, and I specialize in K9 operations. I have been a PEDD/EDD/DDD/SSD trainer and handler for the past 11 years. I have a decent amount of leash time, I have 6 deployments as a handler under my belt...2 full tours in Iraq, and I'm currently on my 8th deployment right now. I have 1 male belgian malanois (ex-ssd) and one female dutch (ex-MWD) on the couch at home. My dutch has actually been hit twice in combat operations (a rocket in Balad, and a mortar in Kirkuk) and survived them both. Tough ol' girl she is. As I get more frequent on here I will post up some pics of the family.

    I was wondering if military credentials will get "verified" status, or is it only for civilian or federal guys?

    Cheers,
    Garry

    I have no idea what those acronyms means, but welcome aboard, anyhow!

    The short answer is no. Further details are provided here (Verified LEO Guidelines), but we've had many military LE folks active on this board over the years so we're glad to have another.

    Welcome, Garry from Orygun....
    Apparently, I'm supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney does with his money than what Barack & Michelle Obama do with mine
