Howdy
 

How y'all doin' out there tonight! My name is Lee, most people call me Tex. I'm originally from Texas (hence the nickname - these guys are so creative), and I'm a fiddler by training. Love country music, but I do enjoy rock, classical and a bit of "pop" I suppose. I'm an MP in the US Army, stationed outta Ft Bragg. I dunno what else to tell y'all except looking forward to hangin' out gettin' to know y'all and enjoying some music together.

Welcome to MB.

Thanks for the Welcome. How ya doing?

Welcome to MB. What are some of your favorite bands?

Thanks. I've got a wide taste in music: Three Days Grace, Rise Against, Josh Turner, Zac Brown Band, Nickelback, Brooks & Dunn (although they broke up of course), The Beach Boys, just to name a few!

Alright. Sounds like you have some fairly diverse tastes. Just a small bit of warning though. You may take some **** for liking Nickelback around here.

Glad to have you though. Settle in and get to know your way around. Any questions, just ask.

Yeah it won't be the first time I've gotten the burn over that, nor will it be the last! Not the first time I've gotten the burn over anything, to be honest! I'm an MP, we tend to get the crap anyways - from stupid calls about rigs blocking drive ways to people wondering around buck naked.

And to tell you the truth, I don't like all of their stuff, but then again I'm like that with all bands. I say I "like" a band - well I do - but it's generally about 60% of their stuff. I don't think I can really say I'm 100% in love with anybody.

My step-father was an MP in the Korean War. I was arrested by some MP's when I was stationed in Germany, so there's a tie-in there somewhere.

Nickelback though... they're ok if you like that sort of thing. But, that horse has been beaten, skinned, and made into glue many times.

I mean, it's all good. People like what they like, don't particularly bother me one way or the other. Now on the flip side of the coin I don't like them enough to have bothered to go to a concert or anything like that.

Rig blocking the road and a guy running around buck naked were two calls I responded to yesturday. You'd think - it being a military post an' all - people might have some decency. Naw...you'd be wrong!

Welcome aboard, interesting job, looking forward to more of your patrol stories.
You'll find a lot of music here, some of the members here are like walking musical encyclopedias.

Here's something to get you started, some classic rock with interesting country mannerisms mixed in.

We're just like any civilian cop we get all kinds of stories. Anything on post that you'd cal a civilian cop for we'd respond to. Everything from stopping traffic to move equipment to drunk soldiers in the bars. Saturday mornings we always have one or two guys who had too much to drink. We do traffic stops on post and some around post. The worst part is ALWAYS gate duty. It's incredibly boring.

Welcome man. Care to share your thoughts on pot becoming more and more legal?

Stats out of Colorado say that misdemeanor crime is down.

I think it's all fine and dandy. Legalize it, tax it, treat it like any other good coming into the country. See I believe part of the reason the drug trade is so hefty is the risk behind it. Humans are born risk takers, and risk drives up the cost to bring it into the country or grow it or however. Take away the risk, you take away a good chunk of profits. But that's just my two cents - as far as I'm concerned if you're caught on post with drugs or drug paraphernalia then you're in trouble.

Welcome, you seem cool. It's nice to have another Beach Boys fan aboard.

I'm Canadian, so I've had to build up a tolerance of Nickelback. :D

Thanks. I reckon if you can forgive me for likin' Nickelback, I can forgive you for being Canadian. Ya can't help that, after all. ;)

Welcome fiddler.

You need some Drive by truckers in your life. Rocking but with country elements:

That's great, man, lovin' it!
