I know a guy like this...kept reminding me the whole time. Its a "gaurd" that works the front door... I am on a military base.
Anyways, this guy prolly made it to E6, became unpromotable (prolly born that way) and got out. Became a security gaurd (no visible weaponry). But, if bad weather approaches, he comes in decked like a spec ops guy, fatigues, high leather boots, and all the rest of it. One day I brought a stick bug in and set it on the desk to show him and the other guards. Holy crap! You'd a thunk I brought a grenade in there with the pin pulled! I swear to you... had he had a gun, he would have used it... on me AND the stick bug.
If it were revealed that he and gecko were one in the same, I would NOT bat an eye.
