In basic training 1984. Guy popped me in the face when I told him to quit picking on a kid in the unit. Kid was a sorry case but tried his hardest every day. I got tired of it and interceded. After the punch I threw the guy against the wall hard enough to take the wind out of him. That ended the hostilities.

Been in scores of uses of force as a correctional officer but that’s vastly different than the emotionally charged fight between two guys who just can’t get along.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
