What was the smallest unit size you operated in?

I understand that getting brassed up requires keeping a level head but the nature of the threats police and the military are subjected to are very different things.

If it’s truly no stress restraining a drunk chick (ideally without hurting her, aka not what this copper did) in a stadium then you should consider joining up!

I was a PL. I trained and operated within a platoon (squad and team) while in combat. I also served at BN and BDE level staff positions after my combat deployments.

Nah, it would be a massive pay cut to what I'm already doing and I've already served. Now it's time that I serve my own family and be a fly on the wall. I think everyone should serve their community in some sort of capacity for a brief stint (military, police, firefighters, local daycare, school teachers, garbagemen, postman, etc). If we all did, then we would all have respect for those positions and it would be a rite of passage for us and strengthen our communities at large. Consider my rite of passage already fulfilled.
