There was supposed to be a mailing but I've never received mine. I wonder if anyone else has had the issue?

Clint,
Believe it or not I am not always the most politically correct person. Sometimes the choices made in leadership, around the world and at home baffle me. Just thought it would be nice for him to see the responses from the knife world

Jan....
I guess I could. I would have to contact the Ukrainian Federal Police and see where he is stationed now or if he is retired where he is living. Many of these officers from other countries applied and received jobs with the United Nations Security.
My supervisor in Kosovo (Kosova) who was from Argentina went to work in Africa for the United Nations in Security. He had a total of four years of experience as a police officer in Argentina in the riot squad. Politics are ten times worse in the UN than anything you and I have experienced. It was a case of supervising my supervisor which was a tricky mine field.

Stephen...
Thanks Stephen. I was blessed to be able to go to Kosovo and help develop their police from the ground up. Now ten years later they still have a long way to go but I believe they can do this.
