Welcome George. Nice to meet you. Wow, my plate is full (getting less so as I let go of some things that I just can't do now - 7 months pregnant) but you have a lot to deal with. I like your analogy about 'the cheese sliding off the cracker'. I don't envy you, full-time cop and SWAT, I considered swapping the military cams for the Australian police at one stage but then decided against it. Glad that guys like you exist however.......we need more of your kind and less of the bas*#@*$ that keep you employed.

The martial arts also interests me, I have been telling Anthony since our first bub was born that I plan on putting him into martial arts as soon as he is old enough. Its the combination of physical and mental discipline that appeals to me. I imagine, if he follows his brothers (15 yrs, approx 6 ft 3 in and has to be pushing 90 odd kilos) footsteps he will be quite a big boy and I would like him to use that size constructively.......not to the detriment of others.

Anyhow welcome, I am sure you will gain plenty from joining this motley crew.
