Unfortunately, some yo-yo will pick that item up as some kind of
"proof" that "I never served" or something vacuous or puerile.


Just be glad you weren't running for President.

Anyone runing for that job is certainly in serious need of mental help

Yeah, some of these hams have real issues. They aren't all hams, but
for some reason they are often attracted to ham radio. A couple years
ago I tried to sell an old 16-ch Regency that covered 137-150 MHz and
would have been a great starter radio or backup for 2m. Yet almost
everyone who responded wanted to know if it could be converted to
cover the police and/or fire bands and none of them would show proof
of licensure when asked. Kinda scary to think that there are so many
nuts out there just waiting for an opportunity to impersonate a cop.


Indeed a lot of cop wannabes out there
