POLL who likes flag day?

[Bigblue]

vote on if you like Flag day or believe it is a TOTAL waste of time

Is their a "I friggin hate it" option, thats my vote.

I can't stand it.

I sort of enjoy acknowledging it. No one else does

I like the idea, but hate the fact they MAKE us do it. I do not like the fact we are FORCED to attend and I know several officers who have to cancel plans because we have to stand around for an hour. I vote "I hate it"

surprised no one has thought to ask before. i do not like it at all. waste of time and just like a punishment because we are ordered to attend. put me down for a don't like.

I sort of enjoy acknowledging it. No one else does

be quiet LT.

cheers, for putting this question forward, put me down for a hate it vote

is there a vote labeled "I'd rather be in a turkish prison option"? thats my vote

OMG I Hate it!!! can i vote twice? NO NO!!!

Friggin can't stand it checking in!!!

I could take it or leave it. Although I do not like the mandatory portion of it.

do not like

I have an opinion, it SUCKS!!!!!!

I'm with the majority, of disliking it, WHY do we do it if everyone cannot stand it?

Because only one vote counts and thats the chiefs.

put me down for a wish we could skip it vote.

Thankyou to all of our veterens and I too dislike the Flag Day get together

It's a punishment

I'm ok with it but you should let just a few do it, making us all do it, is stupid, especially when no one likes it.

HATE IT!!!!

Is there any way to get out of Flag day, short of death? I'll do it just so I don't have to go. It sucks Azz.

What did you guys have to do for Flag Day??

class A uniforms, stand around for a few hours so 3 citizens who came to watch can watch us burn flags. great idea, poor application of an idea.

It's become a issue of resentment for most officers. like we are to be punished. No one can be off and no one can skip it. Officers have had reservations or vacations during that time and had to cancel them for this ridiculous ceremony. again a great idea but a very poor application of it.

you are kidding me...For flag day??? Man, no days off....I remember years ago when I worked the area just west of Temple Terrace and they would pull every officer to work the July 4th parade, pretty much like our Gasparilla. But for flag day, I understand that its an important holiday, but I think that maybe there could be better holidays, or more popular, memorable holidays, like Memorial day. Is this something your Chief came up with? and is this the first year they did it??

no this is the THIRD excruciating year of it. I hope to get paroled soon

Quit your whining! You guys don't do anything anyway. So you can't spend one day eating at the whistle junction BooHoo. Flag day seems to be the only day the department gets any work out of you people!

I have worked with a lot of those guys from TT many years ago when I bordered their agency. Most are professional, eager to help, and still like to work.

Your degrogatory post shows you know NOTHING!!!! about this dept. obviously a reject that still works at the mall :snicker:

WELL WE HAVE OUR YEARLY DAY OF GARBAGE COMING UP THIS WEEK TRYING TO WORK OUT IF ITS WORTH IT TO SHOOT MYSELF IN THE LEG TO GET OUT OF IT... I'M STILL THINKING WHICH IS WORSE AND IT AIN'T EASY DECIDING!

I'm thinking of accidently "offing" a distant relative (one I'm not too fond of or won't miss) So I can be "grieving" instead of doing flag day. I haven't worked out the details but crazy cousin Abner or wierd uncle Louie better lie low if I get this worked out. :snicker:
