Full of crap (2.) a Sloppy person (3.) Suck at what they do Of course anyone can say they hear things... doesn't really mean they are telling the truth... "If the shoe fits!" Does it only take this "Peter Brown" 1-5 mintues to put on his $500.00 suit in the morning. If he says yes, then that must be his morning excercise too. I would say he's full of it (if he said yes, but that's me). OK, get up and actually time yourself geting dressed. See how long it takes (normal clothes now, nothing special). Don't rush, it's not a race, but don't take your sweet time either. You're simply geting dressed, that's all. Jeans, shirt, socks, shoes. Get the idea! Now, Put the socks on, pull the trousers up, put the shoes/boots on (lace or pull). pull the T-shirt over. Add a vest that has to be just right (don't even think about shooting that down, if it ain't right, we ain't right) I bet you don't see Mr. Brown wearing one (a vest). Anyway, get the vest on just right, velcro it. Put the shirt on over it. (Zip or button, which ever your department has). Tuck the shirt in. Match the gig line correctly (don't want to look sloppy, makes the city look sloppy, remeber we're professionals). Finally, the pistol belt. Front has to be matched with the gig line. The front buckle (pistol belt) has to be over the belt buckle (trousers) and above the fly. The fly and belt have to align with the front line of the shirt. Again, it's all about appearance. Mr. Brown does not step before a jury (or a judge for that matter) looking like a slob... I bet not! I am willing to bet that Mr. Brown is a well dressed person that takes pride in how he looks (I don't know him). We too (Police Officers) take pride in how we look, and how it may effect our city. If we look sloppy, then the citizens may feel they are getting a sloppy job. If we look professional, the citizens feel they are getting a professional job. Professional appearence takes time... Tell me I'm wrong! All this to say, it takes more than five stupid minutes to get ready for work. msblueline [b][/b] - Kevin J Cline Fri, 16 May 2008 06:17:45 +0100
