LE (or in some circles LEO) = Law Enforcement.

DOC = Department of Corrections. I'll let Druid speak to SRT, because I'm really not 100% on that one.

Edit: SRT = Special Response Team !!!!

Sounds like a good example of the old AOA problem

(AOA = Any Old Abbreviation)

Or a brain fart (+ the effects of the flu) on my part!

In 1992 we were trained in what now has become WMD, secondary devices, etc..and were told that we were likely to be wiped out as the first response. All of this is nothing new, and we looked around at each other wondering if this did go down who would be the poor fellow(s) that would become victims. Last guy we investigated got 2 years and $450,000 dollars in restitution he would have to pay back for a fire cracker. There is little tolerance for this sort of things nowdays and even the weakest DA will prosecute to the fullest of the law. Something to impress upon those who may consider this tomfoolery.

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

Any of these offenses, if they occurred at all, would have happened well over one half of my life ago, in many cases 2/3rds of it. These were never done in a manner to physically hurt anyone (and thankfully no one was physically hurt). I acknowledge that it was wrong. We were not setting boobie traps for people to get injured with, we were making things go "BANG!" without parental supervision... we were being vandals... but most of this was "blowing stuff up" in a field and we eventually blew up an old "curmudgeonly" individual's mailbox because he hated "us darn kids".

To the gentleman who believes that a fully grown, mildly curmudgeonly (by my wife's standards) man, needs "help" to this day for transgressions committed as a child, I suppose he himself must have never upset his parents or did anything wrong, ever.

Well Dude you should have read the context of the OP before posting what you did. The discussion was essentially about anti-personnel bombs and then you came along and said you did the same thing. Blowing up things is indeed something a lot of kids aspire to, but you seemed to be saying you were doing it to people.

Anyway, glad to hear no one was harmed during your reign of... fooling around.
