I must admit that on following the articles in the newspaper about your ongoing case in the past, I had prejudged you, not knowing your background, and qualifications. One of the main things that hit me on your statements, was, “22 years retired from the U.S. Marine Corps.” This in itself set you apart from any common person in DPS and many other non-career vets.
You sir, would not have lasted that long in the military if there was anything detrimental about your character. You have accomplished all of the certified qualifications — they are indeed very impressive and show moral character, knowledge and expertise.
In your other revelations concerning DPS, (I am also including Tinian in this) I am well aware of the incompetence and personal vendettas that are happening on a day to day basis by inexperienced and self-serving people that are generated by the incapable politically appointed department heads.
I personally think that there are more incapable persons in this category than not. I am glad that your criminal conviction has been “expunged” (in a past personal vendetta against me by Tinian DPS, mine was ultimately dismissed because of unsubstantial evidence, but cost my house and career).
Although I do not know you personally, I do believe that you may have an arrogant nature, as many of us vets, and/or career military personnel have. Many of us have a problem trying to deal with the incompetence we meet in many of the day to day operations of the private businesses along with the CNMI government’s politically hired personnel. (Many “NMDs” that have resided in the U.S. experience the same problem.)
How many of the present DPS, fire division, and CPA police and fire hires could possibly pass the entrance physical without having “connected” names?
I wish you the best of luck sir and I will probably get a lot of flak from this letter but “Semper Fi” and good luck to you.
