Pennie,

Thank You for sharing your story. I have been a Border Patrol Agent for 23 years. One of my friends, dad was an agent and worked with your dad and Bill Jordan. The Border Patrol was a very small tight knit group until after 9/11. When I came in in 1988 there were about 3000-3500 agents nationwide.

Up until the mid 1980's agents could pretty much carry what they wanted.
