Highlights from his phony cop career include:
-- Dressing in uniform against regulations as a volunteer with the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

quote:

He was jailed briefly in 1993 for violating the terms of that probation. Among other things, authorities learned he had joined the Coast Guard Auxiliary, which gave him a volunteer's uniform and badge. Nemec eventually left the auxiliary after Coast Guard officials raised questions about his use of official vehicles and radio equipment.

Less than a year later, he was in trouble again.

D. THE REQUEST FOR AN UN-TUCKED VERSION ODU HAS BEEN HEARD LOUD AND CLEAR AND HAS BEEN APPROVED. THE CLOTHING DESIGN AND TECHNICAL OFFICE (CDTO) AND UNIFORM PROGRAM ARE CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON A PROTOTYPE UNIFORM TO FULLY MEET U.S. COAST GUARD NEEDS. THIS INCLUDES INTRODUCTION OF A NEW FABRIC FOR THE ODU. THE FABRIC WILL HAVE ENHANCED OIL AND LUBRICANT RESISTANCE, COLORFASTNESS, AND WRINKLE RESISTANCE. THE UNTUCKED ODU WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO OUR UNIFORM INVENTORY ONCE FINAL DESIGN IS COMPLETE, SUFFICIENT INVENTORY IS ON HAND AND THE CURRENT ODU STOCK IS REDUCED TO A MORE MANAGEABLE LEVEL. THE CURRENT ODU IS A GENERAL PURPOSE UNIFORM INTENDED FOR WEAR WHERE A DRESS UNIFORM IS NOT REQUIRED. BECAUSE OF ITS INCREASING VERSATILITY, E.G., WEAR IN SOME OFFICE SETTINGS, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE ODU PROJECTS A SHARP MILITARY APPEARANCE AT ALL TIMES. AS A RESULT, A SEPARATE ALCOAST WILL BE ISSUED TO ADDRESS ODU CARE AND WEAR POLICY.

News about the much-anticipated untucked ODU uniform were announced by Mr. Carol Brewton, Uniform Program Manager at the Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) in Woodbine, NJ. Mr. Brewton also demonstrated new features of the longer, improved trench coat. He anticipates the new ODU will be available near the end of 2008.

The Middle Finger: Identity

The second finger is the identity finger. This is the finger most often used in obscene gesturing when one wishes to express an offense to personal dignity. This seems to be the finger with the most strength and balance, rooted firmly in the center of the hand. It is associated with our role in life, practicality, and the regulation of the foundations and limits of self. This finger announces "I am" and governs the way we see ourselves, our potentials, and our limitations.

To somehow bind this finger adds to those innate restrictions and announces a definite confusion or disappointment with the sense of identity and role in life. Perhaps it is quite natural for this to be the finger most commonly used in obscene gestures; it seems to be the one that imposes the most stress of its own so that it, in turn, becomes the one a person uses to release stress whenever the ego is threatened. Any person who consistently displays this finger in anger is revealing a threat to the ego that is somehow a constant one yet is often self-imposed.

A ring on this finger can announce that the person is unsure of personal roles or a place in society. Many times you will find a person linking the tip of the third finger with the tip of the thumb. This is a direct effort to enhance willpower with the support of total ego. It will be difficult to convince this person of any new concepts or to win any verbal or strategic confrontation.

When this finger is marred, hidden or badly damaged, the person could probably use some help in establishing a secure identity and confidence in present social or business roles. It should also be noted that this finger will take on added significance as a person grows older; a young child is naturally concerned about who he or she is, while an older person might be caught up in unnecessary worry over a mundane professional role being an indication of worth as a human being. . .
