Well, let me put this tastefully. If , well, ahem...Let's just say the severed
puppy prints would barely peek over low-rise jeans. 
No, I always wanted to be a cop. I admired their fortitude and strength. My husband and I agreed, though, that with him in the military and me as a cop it would be very difficult for our son. Those are two very high-stress
occupations. So, no, I put it out of my mind in deference to my family.

My parents moved a lot, too. Where did you go to school(s)? Did you like going to new schools or was it tough on you?

I went to 6 different schools as a kid due to parents moving a lot. I hated changing schools. Always had to defend myself because it was the bullies and losers that moved in first to pick at the new kid. Beat the hell out of a bully - make friends. Let yourself be picked on - endless turmoil. I tried both routes, I ended up beating the hell out of the bullies.

It's a tough life for a kid. I have no really close friends from my childhood--we weren't anywhere long enough!
It's tough with the bullies and the losers. I wasn't pretty enough to garner
anyone's attention--unless you count the mockery from the cheerleaders! 
It made me tougher, I guess. How about you, Robp?

Definitely tougher. I'm not very outgoing by nature and that didn't help. Wasn't a good enough athlete to be looked up at for athletic skills. I was just this slug who went to school every day and tried to fit in and not stand out in any way. At least for the last half of 8th grade and thru high school I was in the same school system. Made a few friends and we're still friends now - 25 yrs later.

I always looked at it is an adventure. I wasn't very outgoing, but
I usually managed to make a couple of good friends. The worst
move was when I moved the summer before my senior year.
That was awful. The new school had a graduating class of over 600.
I was pretty much invisible. no senior picture, no senior prom, no
class ring, no senior trip - poor poor me. Funny how all of that seemed
so important at the time.
College was the school I went to the longest and had the funnest it took me a tad longer than 4 years 
States I have lived in:
New York (born)
Michigan
South Carolina
Missouri
Alabama
Tennessee
In TN and MO we live in a couple of different cities/towns.

I had 4 different schools in 2 years back in the day. Definitely makes one tougher. Instead of beating up the bullies, I beat up the janitors. That seemed to get me the respect I needed to become the ruler of the school.
Actually, I found that making people laugh was key to geting 'in'. The problem was, once I finally got settled and made a bunch of friends, we had to move again...
But I'm not bitter about it. I am what I am today because of it...and I rock faces, yes?

Ohhhhhh! Okay, somehow the mental picture is quite clear now!  So what branch of the miliary is your husband in? And what did you end up doing career wise? (Yes I know I ask lots of questions)

Well honestly it's difficult to think of anything terribly interesting to tell about me...But maybe as far as weirder than fiction....I was an enlisted person in the Navy and later a commissioned officer in the Army....another is I have an Acconting Degree but I'm a cop so I never worked as an accountant. Well you have to admit, I told it wasn't going to be terribly interesting.

Are you building a police file on me? There's probably one already there-- you know how us tattooed hellions cause trouble for da cops!!
No, actually, at the career defining moment in my life, I found out I was
pregnant. We scraped by with my husband being a truck driver and then
he became an AF occifer--so I could stay home with our son. I'll be able
to work later~my son will only be with me for a short time!
Why did you become a cop? When? How did your parents take it? Do you love it? I bet you do! Did you get your degree? Are you career or do you plan to branch off into other areas of law enforcement? (sorry to be nosy!) (My parents were devastated that I even got married. His parents were devastated that he married ME and joined the military)
