An intro
Greetings to all!
I have been lurking on the site for several months. I have been reading the informative information and feeling in touch with those in uniform whom I have the highest respect for. I want to thank all of you for your service and sacrifice and say that I have always been in awe of Rangers.
I like you have been in the business of protecting people and service to my country all of my adult life. I served in the military and in law enforcement with the last seven years devoted to a narcotics taskforce that has consumed me. I am a currently a Senior Agent, the job provides me with an adrenaline rush from time to time. I work in overt and covert roles and usually find myself working forty to sixty hours a week (that has been our recent averages). I am in charge of several agents and work with the undercover agents to develop their field craft. I lead the Tactical Entry Section for our narcotics site and also serve on the Louisiana Violent Crimes Task Force. We try to make a difference but honestly law enforcement and the counter narcotics trade is a loosing battle and just an all around frustrating field. Folks we lost the war on drugs years ago and believe me it isn’t going to get any better soon. Initially all of the bells and whistles look great but beneath the surface there is terrible corruption, political influences and just plain ugly people out there that control the whole system. It doesn’t take long to see why my chosen profession has a high alcoholism, substance abuse, divorce and suicide rate.
I was a medic for ten years and also served in the Louisiana National Guard. Some of my duty locations over the years were Ft. Dix, New Jersey 1986, Ft. Sam Houston, Texas 1987, Camp Casey Republic of Korea 1987 – 1988, Ft. Campbell, Kentucky 1988 – 1992, Camp Stanley Republic of Korea 1993, Ft. Bragg, North Carolina 1994, 1995 – 1997 New Orleans, Louisiana. Louisiana Army National Guard, 812th Air Ambulance Company. The most memorable locations and duty sites were with HHC 1/502 at Ft. Campbell, Eagle Dustoff at Ft. Campbell and The Original Dustoff 57th Med at Ft. Bragg. HHB Divarty Korea.
I became interested in psychology as a result of my experience in the military and later as an undercover narcotics agent. I have a B.A. in Psychology and am currently completing the requirements for the Masters in Clinical Psychology and hope to complete my field training and practicum at good ole Ft. Bragg WAMC. I began as a Pre Med Micro Biology student and ended up in Psychology (We are doctors who couldn’t do the math).
I read people, that is what I do and it evolves into a survival skill necessary to be competitive in the business where success is measured by arrest versus violence or death. In an instant it becomes evident to me who they are, where they come from and if they are full of it, or have some depth and substance. I feel being a good Narc, Clinician or a good Psychologist requires investigative skills and the ability to screen people effectively. We need to look harder, look deep without missing surface clues that lend to the complete picture. I also have a business (Defense Solutions Consulting and Training) which is based on narcotics intervention, prosecution and training.
I hope to begin my Psy D in the spring and rejoin the active Army as a Psychologist somewhere in the near future. This site has been my official service question and answer reference and I enjoy learning from all of you.
Rangers and Veterans thanks for all that you do and what you mean to me, and my fellow civilians.
