My dad is also a cop. He is 53 and could quite easily kick my ass, as he's 6'4" and big. A little of it is going to fat, but most of it is still muscle.
Evidence:
(A) He is an absolutely terrifyingly good shot, and he's an IPSC shooter which is oodles of evidence.
(B) He's a Navy brat and nearly his entire family has served.
(C) He works for a private defense contractor.
(D) He goes on long, mysterious trips to South America, and doesn't tell me why. One time, when just he and I were living together, he gave me like a day's notice that he was going to South America for two weeks.
As he's grown more comfortable, he's started to do charity trips where he goes abroad to countries with a feral cat/dog problem and speys/castrates animals. He also tutors others in how to catch them and how to do it.
worked at a plastics factory for about twenty years until they shit-canned him this year because of the auto-industry

short of military dads, my dad would likely beat up all your dads
My dad was drafted during Vietnam. He never actually made there though because my grandmother flipped her shit on a senator and got my dad sent to Germany instead. We always wondered how my dad ended up in Germany and didn't find out (he didn't even know) until a couple years ago. You did not cross my grandmother.

A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.
Before my dad was a turd, he was a professional chef, and an architect. He designed houses, and then built them with his father. Big houses, too, two levels, large basements.
Grandpa 1 - Served as Head of Naval Research, moved out to Hawai'i to oversee the Tet Offensive.
Grandpa 2 - Made millions through means that no one will ever, ever tell me about. Probably super illegal.
Dad - Blackmailed by Grandpa 2; told that if he didn't sell his company he wouldn't be allowed to marry Grandpa 2's daughter (my mom).
Me - 18, not technically a disappointment yet.
Welp, I flew to Michigan with the intent of surprising my Dad for Father's Day, only to find out right after I bought my plane tickets that work was sending him to Mexico for a month and half.
I'm here chilling with my Mom, drinking his beer and playing with his dog, bummed out that he's not here to go fishing with me.

my parents won't even let me think about joining the air force or armed forces, much as I want to

Deadliest Dad.
he sailed down the length of the Amazon (not in the trimaran) and has a super old betamax tape of an anaconda swimming not three feet past him
he scored the music for the Orlando Magic and for Seaworld's light show (neither are used anymore)
all with diagrams and dramatic demonstrations
oh lord
Grandpa 2 - Artilleryman in North Africa WW2, racist and judgmental turd who divorced my grandma and called my sister a giant slut
Dad - Cop, consistent gold 100 (top accuracy rating) and one of the smartest people I know.
Me - Work at a video game company, parents are convinced that someday I'll be a world-famous author. Continually under a lot of self-imposed pressure.
I'm here chilling with my Mom, drinking his beer and playing with his dog, bummed out that he's not here to go fishing with me.
I got him these
Ditto.
grandpa 1 - pretty cool guy who was a mechanic in Vietnam and has raced cars his entire life until he got lung cancer
grandpa 2 - cut out on my dad's family pretty early on and has been a bit of a deadbeat grandfather ever since
dad - above
me - don't ask
