Hello Sid, nice of you to drop by. I created this page on the off chance that some day you would hit the Net, put your own name into a search engine, and find my page - aren't metatags wonderful? Anyway, remember in 1978, I was 19 years old, and you were my squad leader in the 5th Platoon of the 212th MP in Schweinfurt, Germany? Remember when you borrowed $320 from me, and never made any attempt to pay it back?

Well, if you've been consumed with guilt all these years for taking advantage of a kid in your squad that looked up to you, here's your chance to make it right. I'll gladly accept it now. At 9% interest (quite generous, considering the rates of the 80's), your debt stands at $2,331.55 as of January 1st, 2002. If you pay me back now, I will apply the money to my daughters tuition,and you can get a good nights sleep. Here's something else to think about...


I am a soldier and proud member of the United States Army Military Police Corps Regiment.

I am Of the Troops and For the Troops.

I believe there is no higher calling than to ASSIST, PROTECT and DEFEND my fellow soldiers, their families, and the basic ideals of our Constitution that guarantee our freedom and our American way of life.

I am always ready to help individual soldiers retain or regain their dignity.

I assist commanders in performing their missions, safeguarding their commands, and maintaining discipline, law and order.

I am proud of the Military Police Corps Regiment and fully understand the awesome responsibility given to all military police soldiers.

At the same time, I am humble because I know that I am a servant of my country and my Army.

To perform my duties properly, my honesty, integrity, and courage must be balanced by competence, alertness, and courtesy.

I know I am constantly in the public eye and my behavior sets the standards of excellence for my fellow soldiers.

To my unit, my commander, and myself, I promise sustained, just and honorable support.  To my country, the Army, and my Regiment, I promise the skills of my training, my physical ability, my mental initiative, and my moral courage, for I am a soldier in the
MILITARY POLICE CORPS REGIMENT!
