In The Line Of Fire
by Frank and Lin Vargo
Pop, pop, pop pop!
Most of the liberal media made fun of the fact that
President Donald J Trump was ducking for cover when
he heard the popping sound surrounding the area near
the stage.
That was not the case at all.
He was shot and was finally pushed to the ground.
Joy Reid, the blond haired black woman, that is odd
in itself, hates President Trump and makes stuff up as
she sees fit. As well as many others on the mainstream
media circuit.
So, I shall tell you in a small part of what my
colleagues in law enforcement actually go through
when we hear the “pop, pop, pop” sounds.
We were trained to: Protect the lives of the
President of the United States and his family as well as
the members of the cabinet. All legislators and their
family and the dignitaries of foreign countries.
That is what it states on my I.D card. I.e. the Shah
of Iran and Prince Charles, my assignments. No we did
not have direct contact with the dignitaries personally
and there was NO getting autographs.
You wore a bullet proof Kevlar vest that covers the
main part of the body but it leaves certain areas open to
vulnerability: the femoral artery in both arms and the
neck and head.
Training is never ending even when off duty. We
went to Quantico and some went to SWAT training on
Glencoe, Georgia. We were sent to Greenbelt, Maryland

weapons in the form of different pepper sprays to disable
a person, to increase the attack on the officers person.

Since 2020, Montana’s Registered Apprenticeship [Link] for an online application.
Program, administered by DLI, has seen a 20% increase
in active apprenticeship enrollment in over 100 different
fields where workers receive paid, supervised, on-the-
job training.
Plumbing occupies the second highest number of
apprentices in Montana. There are currently 11 active
apprentices registered in the program in Valley County.
In 2022, Montana added more apprenticeships
to the Registered Apprenticeship Program than ever
before. Many of these were added following a rule change
supported by the governor that went into effect that year.
While maintaining workplace safety and training
standards, the revised rule changed the journeyman-to-
apprentice ratio from 2:1 to 1:2. Now, one journeyman can
supervise two apprentices.
