Starting at 10 o’clock Friday, two senior non-commissioned officers from Fort Benning will be on courtesy patrol. The soldiers will be wearing arm bands that read, “Courtesy Patrol.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Okay whatever happened to the MPs? Or in my case the Shore Patrol?<\/p>\n
Does Fort Benning not have an MP contingent working with local law enforcement?<\/p>\n
I’m sorry, the concept of a Courtesy Patrol seems strange to me. Or maybe silly? Doesn’t it evoke odd images for anyone else? If I saw the Shore Patrol striding purposefully in my direction I’d be concerned… The Courtesy Patrol, not so much.<\/p>\n
[Edit to add] A coupla comments have pointed out the Courtesy Patrol is a good thing. Reckon my inner geezer is showing some, but I STILL think it sounds odd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
