the beginning of their career. All members wear a Silver Eagle, for we are all on the same level.
The Eagle itself stands for Freedom, America and our way of life.
Bottom Rocker

territory rights.
LE MC's Bottom Rocker signifies geographical location of their Chapter...ONLY!

Only 1%er's display their bottom rocker as territory. LE MC's do not!
Our bottom rocker governs our place of employment and location of the member's Chapter only,
nothing else!

employees/personnel of that specific institution. Each Chapter President has a choice of picking
the bottom rocker name when they first open their HCMC Chapter. But once the choice has been
made, it should not be changed. Additional Chapters in the same State, using the same name
will have a roman number designation added to the back of the vest. The Roman number will be
placed in the middle; below the eagle and just above the bottom rocker.

employees/personnel of that specific institution.

HARD CHARGER is a term first heard in the military. It is customary to call a soldier or sailor who
goes the "extra mile" to simply complete a task or mission for the team without any self interest a
HARD CHARGER.
The atmosphere within any Jail or Prison is considered to one degree or another "para-military".
Many former military personnel have become employed within the Department of Corrections. As
time went by, some of the old military sayings have found a place within the walls of these
facilities. HARD CHARGER is at the top of the list.
Within the Department of Corrections a Correction officer who goes that "extra mile" to complete
any and all tasks, is a HARD CHARGER. Any Correction Officer who finds him/herself alone in a
situation and does everything possible to "correct that situation" because it has to be done, is a
HARD CHARGER. Any Department of Corrections personnel who has saved a life, prevented an
assault, suicide, rape, escape or even a hostage situation without ever thinking about
themselves first, is a HARD CHARGER. To help and/or assist someone under your control with
learning a language, improving their education, assisting them with work and family relations on
the outside is a HARD CHARGER. Any Correction Officer or employee "behind the wall" who has
experienced any of the above without anyone giving thanks, nor expecting it, is a HARD CHARGER.
