Many have entry requirements. Few follow up from there. (mine does well IMO). Officers are allowed like 5 hrs per pay period to work out on the clock. Also health insurance is way cheaper for the "healthy." It's somewhere around that number.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison

Vietnamese restaurant on FM 517 in Friendswood between I-45 and state route 3 at noon today. white male wearing a big honking blued 1911 with a beavertail grip in an OWB belt holster, polo shirt tucked in. No badge visible.

I think it was a DPS lunch meeting based on the license plates outside.

Again, no one screamed, fainted, threw up, or tried to grab the pistol.

I gotta get me one o' them polo shirts.

I can't imagine any other reason anyone would wear a Hawaiian shirt or a fanny pack.
