Off topic as usual, but one of us has been recognized and rewarded for a long career of hard work.

Our friend, 1115 or Dale if you wish, has just been promoted to Captain on his police force and Chief of Detectives. Hurrah for 1115!

Now we have to bow to him in Tanzania this year, I guess!

Here's a picture of the Captain in his best element.

Way to go! When's the party?

"Chief of Detectives"?

he's going to be verry verry busy.

Congratulations

Yeah, when's the "wetting down". Congrats! jorge

WTG Dale!

Congratulations Dale!!

John

Congratulations Dale! Hopefully this also means more money for safaris.

congrats--chris

Congrats Dale! I guess all those years of chasing perps through marsh grass with your bloodhounds paid off.

George

Congrats Dale. I hope you wanted the promotion! They may have simply wanted to find a way of keeping you around a little longer.
I look forward to seeing the photos and hearing the stories of your next Africa trip.
Frank

Congratulations!

Will you get time off to go hunting now that you're the big boss!

Dale, the best and looking forward to your photos from next safari...

Thank you for all of the kind words and well wishes. I stand in awe of the job our military men and women are doing in these tough times, and I applaude their sacrifice and devotion to duty. As a member of the law enforcement community in our United States, I take my responsibility to keep the homeland safe very seriously. The slogan "To Serve and Protect" is an honor to uphold. The brothers and sisters "behind the badge" are on the front lines daily here in our great land. Cops have taken some bad press at times, but we are still out there, 24, 7, 365. Thanks again all.

Dale: I feel the same way about you law enforcement men.You guys put your lives on the line every day and it just burns me when the media ALWAYS takes the side of the perpetrator when it comes to the police or the military.

The price of freedom is a value the protected shall never know. You my friend know exactly what I'm talking about and I thank you. jorge

Way to go Dale, you guys on the front line are deeply appreciated by us gawkers from a distance. ----- Good luck on your hunt with Pierre', with you and Judge G, his hands will be full. Tell Moses, Abdul, Twigga, and Singoree hello. Someday I shall return. Good shooting.

Congratulations Dale from one old law dog to another, just look forward to your retirement, its the best part of your life..

1115:

Congrats and Best Wishes on your promotion!

Look forward to meeting you when we swamp seats on the plane at Selous International Airport..
