Subject: USMC vs Texas Highway Patrol
Two Texas Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement
on Hwy 77, just south of Kingsville, Tx.
One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding
vehicles approaching the town of Kingsville. The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading, 300 miles per hour and
climbing!
The officer attempted to reset the radar gun but it would not reset, and then it suddenly turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the mesquite treetops on Hwy 77, revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet,
which was engaged in a low flying exercise, near its Naval Air home base location in Kingsville, Tx.
Back at the Texas Highway Patrol Headquarters in Corpus Christi, the
Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the US Naval Base Commander in
Kingsville, for shutting down his equipment.
The reply came back in true USMC style:
"Thank you for your letter":
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet, had detected the presence of and subsequently locked on to your hostile radar equipment, and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile aboard the fully armed aircraft,
had also automatically locked on to your equipment's location.
Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet, recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert
status and was able to override the automated defense system, before the
missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position on the side of Hwy 77 So. of Kingsville.
The pilot suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them since the
video systems on these jets are...Very High Tech.
"Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his
dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his

I believe that it was his holster as I have seen this one before.
