Description: You've done your time. You can kick your feet up, close your eyes, and let somebody else deal with the problem, but you won't. You won't because you can't. There's something ingrained in you. You have to protect. It's why you became a LEO in the first place and, even though your contractual obligations are over, it will never leave you. You, more than most, understand that it's a dangerous world out there, so you never close your eyes. Whether you?re at a new job or relaxing at home, you're always aware of those dangers, and you have taken small precautions to be ready for any crisis that may arise. The others will remain complacent, you won't. Your time in uniform is over? But your watch never ends.

Description: Hodaka introduced the Wombat in 1972, then later introduced the racing model, the Combat Wombat, in 1973. The Hodaka Combat Wombat became a tough competitor in it's day, giving the increasing number of Japanese bikes a run for their money in the 125cc class. Powered by a 125cc two-stroke engine that wound up to 8,400 rpm, the Combat Wombat also featured a five-speed transmission and a left side shifter. This nimble little motocrosser weighed around 192 pounds with a wheelbase of 53 inches. At this time in the motocross bike market, things were developing quickly and all of the manufacturers were releasing “new and improved” bikes each year, so Hodaka had to stay on that same path and released the Super Combat in '74.
Description: The concept of the door gunner originated during the Vietnam War, when helicopters were first used in combat in large numbers. The original personnel who served as early door gunners aboard CH-21, UH-34, and UH-1 helicopters in Vietnam, were enlisted men, with a designated and specially trained crew chief serving as both the aircraft's maintenance manager and a door gunner. Normally, a second enlisted soldier served as a second door gunner (such as on a UH-1, and UH-34, which both used two gunners – one on each side of the aircraft). Later, as the war progressed, the door gunner position sometimes used a non-aviation rated/trained soldier or marine, that volunteered for door gunner duties.
