My Introduction

Looks as if there is some great discussion here on your site!

By way of introduction, my name is Teresa Chambers, and I have devoted nearly 28 years to law enforcement service. I became most recognizable in my role as Chief of the United States Park Police when, in December 2003, I shone a spotlight on staffing and budgetary shortages of my agency that, today, continue to prevent adequate protection at some of our nation’s highest profile icons, parks, and parkways.

For answering a news reporter and a Congressional staffer honestly, I was fired in July of 2004. In October 2004, an administrative Judge dismissed two of the six administrative charges placed against me. I am currently awaiting a review of my case by an administrative board and am prepared to move to federal court if the case is not resolved at this stage. For more information about this matter, visit www.honestchief.com or write to me at tcchambers@honestchief.com.

I am not a fencer, but some friends I met a few years ago were quite involved as were their children. I was fascinated by their discussion and what I learned from them, and I when I discovered your discussion board, my interest was peaked again. When I saw the opportunity to introduce myself and tell a little about what is currently going on in my life, I thought I would do so. Although the "free time" is almost nonexistent as I fight my wrongful termination, I'm finding balance by reading and learning from others, like you, and making plans for the future.

Thanks for asking.

START FENCING!! And fence with your left hand. Right, Lefty1? And do foil or epee, not saber. Saber bad. : Well, fun to watch, actually. I think people screaming and charging at each other is fascinating. and then shaking their fists at the ref, which discourages my dreams of getting a referee permit...

Welcome to the board from the one who won't stop babbling!

What is free time anyway? I wouldn't call fencing free time. I've alloted time for fencing (no I'm not that anal), but I wouldn't call it free.
With high stress it becomes even more important to get out, get some physical activity and stop thinking about the problem for a while. It makes that physical exercise very valuable.

In a sense, with the rewards you will get from getting out and being physical your time will pay for itself. So in a sense I guess it is free time. Woah! Circular logic. I'm getting dizzy.

Damn. Lefty_monster and I should have a competition for babbling.

Welcome to the forum!
