I'm impressed, Greg, with your mewspaper interview and how you coped with PD without revealing it to your Police Dept employers. With the benefit of hindsight, how do you think they might have responded if you had come "out" early and requested transfer from patrol to a desk job? This decision is faced by many other young-onset PWP just like you, and deserves some careful study, for those who will need to face it in the future. I've personally met examples of both directions, and could not at present advise anyone about which is the better way to go. Cheers, Joe -- J. R.
