I got to agree with the others that I would be like all the others when pulled over by you and saying "Yes Sir Officer Sir". But then again, I treat all people who bleed blue that way for pure respect for their job and the brotherhood. It wouldn't matter if their your size or 105 soaking wet. The shield carries its own weight that demands respect.

Good job on staying in shape and keep up the hard work. I get so dissapointed when I see an out-of-shape officer. I think every department(city, county, state) should have a fitness requirement somewhat like the military. You have to pass a test and weight-in to make sure your with-in specs. Some places do that and some don't but being healthy for that particular job just is a must in my opinion.
We have to buy our uniforms. They give us a 300.00 a year allowance. Which, sucks. Cuz, our uniform pants cost 80.00 a piece. If you rip a pair in a fight, your SOL. Anywho, I have to have my uniforms custom built. If I bought a shirt off the store rack I would have to have major alterations done to it. I agree with your comment about some of my co-workers. We have some that are bad, bad, bad out of shape. But, I want to go home at the end of my shift, and I WILL! Thanks for good comments.
