#1 I was in a nether land of a feverish dream, and I slowly began to realize that I was in a spare bedroom in Jay’s house in Ayer, with the décor of a military surplus warehouse crossed with a speed shop. I remembered that the raccoon’s name was Rocky.

#2 I had just processed out of the army, with my illusions shattered and a bad taste in my soul for the future. I was looking at my prospects, and I knew that I needed to reinvent myself.

#3 I had been working with Penguini to set up a training company that would teach SWAT teams and other interested parties the art of counterterrorism. We had our first customer in the form of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, who wanted us to deliver seminars around the country.

#4 I hate the raccoon and its owner, a visual reminder that the original idea of seeking change was to progress, not regress. I am still not sure what the real world will offer, but I am sure that we can adapt and overcome any obstacle.

#1

I was in a nether land of a feverish dream, and I slowly began to realize that I was in a spare bedroom in Jay’s house in Ayer, with the décor of a military surplus warehouse crossed with a speed shop. I remembered that the raccoon’s name was Rocky.

#2

I had just processed out of the army, with my illusions shattered and a bad taste in my soul for the future. I was looking at my prospects, and I knew that I needed to reinvent myself.

#3

I had been working with Penguini to set up a training company that would teach SWAT teams and other interested parties the art of counterterrorism. We had our first customer in the form of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, who wanted us to deliver seminars around the country.

#4

I hate the raccoon and its owner, a visual reminder that the original idea of seeking change was to progress, not regress. I am still not sure what the real world will offer, but I am sure that we can adapt and overcome any obstacle.

The IACP gave us the contract to present all their SWAT seminars. We were to present our first set of the program next week in Newton. We knew many of the participants, and they were mostly Irish third- and fourth-generation police families.

#6

The first seminar was held, and it was a disaster. Max, a castoff from the agency, was our only participant who had not rehearsed his presentation. He had gone native and taken to the locals and culture with a vengeance.

We had developed a shield that could stop bullets, and we had displayed it at the San Diego police academy. We had shot three shields to near destruction with no penetration, so Jeff took the shield down range with the instructions to Range Control that he was going to lash it to a pole. I was back at the table with a variety of handguns and submachine guns ready to go.

#9

The approaching Olympics triggered a buying spree, which quickly wore down the company’s cash reserves. Jeff learned he had Meniere’s disease, which made him occasionally sick on the floor with vertigo and projectile vomiting.

#10

R. O. is a gun nut and supporter of anything using selective force. He is a 250-pound Bubba with a falsetto voice. He can teach mantracking since he is an avid bow hunter.
