Check it out Bigs. About to make you feel very small. I knew Sgt Hernandez very very well. He was not content with sitting at home on retirement. He always said he would be part of the DPS org until someone took him away kicking and screaming. This isn't a security guard at a bank or a greeter at Wal-Mart type of surroundings. He had passed fitness with flying colors (better than some young'uns sometimes) and he was in the process of doing it all over again. There's no shame in keeping busy and not depending on the system to take care of you. I say way to go DPS by keeping him on because they knew if someone got rowdy at the DL as they can do sometimes, Paul would have no hesitation in quelling the situation. He was still foremost a Texas State Trooper and former CID Agent. And there's a reason guys like that stay on until their last day I promise you.
