I usually don't disclose my professional information on public forums, but I do trust most here. I am a Corrections Officer for the state (MN). I have spent my entire career on the ERT (Emergency Response Team), am a DOC Use of Force instructor (Firearms/Self Defense/Control Tactics/Chemical Munitions/ERT Instructor)... Started when I was 25 and am 32 now. My intention was not to make this into my career, but I LOVE going to work... About a month ago, myself and 3 of my team members were honored in our yearly, DOC-wide awards ceremony. We were nominated for our contributions to safety at our facility... Not bragging about myself - but am bragging about the type of people I work alongside.
I have seen a lot of things (good, bad, and downright disgusting) working in this environment, many I will never forget. We have had a REALLY rough summer in our department - Two officers were killed less than 90 days apart (our first two officer KIA's)... A word that we use in corrections is COMPLACENCY... Complacency KILLS. I think the same thing can be said in many other lines of work - agriculture is a big one. When you become complacent, real bad things can happen, real fast. Construction, heavy equipment operation, military, law enforcement, truckers... There are a lot of dangerous professions out there. Whatever you do, please be safe, do not become complacent.
At the end of the day, we all want to go out the gate the same way we came in... With just a few more pennies in our pocket.
Me? I am serving a life sentence... 8-16 hours at a time. :-)

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard.
