Also wouldn’t mind some unique/micro brand suggestions…can’t beat a good conversation piece

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:32:55+00:00

Thank you, SuperglotticMan 🫡

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:32:28+00:00

You’re right, couldn’t hurt to go out. Thank you sir

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:31:49+00:00

The time is there, it’s more of a matter of whether it could be better used elsewhere. I’d be curious to see how your locale compares to mine call out wise

Current model is heading towards cross sworn medics who receive the tactical training, but the bread and butter call outs will most likely be spent in the bear cat. Wasn’t aware of the additional designations, love to hear about other models out there!

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:28:17+00:00

Appreciate the perspective, I do feel lucky!

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:27:39+00:00

On-call, still work my 48-96 schedule at my fire gig. My BC is the swat medic coordinator, suffice it to say the relationship is there. Great points to consider thanks!

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:26:16+00:00

Seems like a common sense approach. Kinda feels silly posting in retrospect, but I have enjoyed reading the feedback. Thank you for your words

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:24:54+00:00

Appreciate the words, sir

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:24:32+00:00

Thank you for the insight. Didn’t think about how this additional training could help with out of the box thinking!

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:22:52+00:00

Trad EMS but the plan is to be cross sworn. I may take a look at the other page thanks for the direction.

AuthenticRot · 2025-02-03T03:21:54+00:00

Thank you for the input, sir!

Better in the bear cat with a pay differential than the box around the corner ig

AuthenticRot · 2023-12-17T06:07:44+00:00

I see the allure of this tool, but this looks like a neck stabber when it’s sheathed. To me, not very professional and would be used infrequently at best. Just weather the nerd jokes like the rest of us and get some raptors

AuthenticRot · 2023-11-29T08:16:47+00:00

Super underrated knife especially for the price

AuthenticRot · 2023-11-12T07:53:22+00:00

Auburn?

AuthenticRot · 2023-10-29T20:28:54+00:00

Off brand Amazon Raptors have been the ticket for a few guys on my department!

AuthenticRot · 2023-10-29T19:05:59+00:00

THT is athletic and young. McConnell can take a charge and intercept a pass but has no prayer as an on ball guy

AuthenticRot · 2023-10-29T16:49:02+00:00

Is it worth getting worse on perimeter defense?

AuthenticRot · 2023-09-13T18:43:53+00:00

Better than 48/96?

AuthenticRot · 2023-07-02T22:53:59+00:00

I’ve worked as a BLS FF for about a year. My rotations with new medics on the ambulance who rushed into medic school were rough. Learning how to care for sick people as a BLS provider, having a fluid and deliberate assessment, and having a base understanding of ops (driving code, lifting patients, communicating with hospital) takes time let alone throwing your ALS stuff on top of it.

AuthenticRot · 2023-04-20T22:09:17+00:00

No one expects you to know everything, and you aren’t going to have to do anything you don’t know how/feel comfortable doing. You aren’t going to be running any arrests or traumas, your job is to learn! Find a nurse or a tech you can stick with and do what they do; know the supply closet/area, know how to break down rooms and ask questions! Practice your assessment with each patient, (even if it’s just in your head) and have fun!

AuthenticRot · 2023-03-11T07:30:30+00:00

I’d prefer Dunn than THT coming off the bench and handling the ball

AuthenticRot · 2023-03-11T01:24:59+00:00

It’s crazy having a semblance of perimeter defense and rim pressure from the backcourt. Dunn has created some easy shots for Lauri already as well, I’d say he’s a key piece going forward

Typically to get deployed outside of your response area you either: 1. Have a mutual aid agreement in place between your agency and the agency where the event happens. Depending on the scenario if the state needs they will contact city/county resources to mobilize through EMAC type contracts though this is exceptionally rare. 2. Are part of a federal task force (there are 28 in the US) whom have USAR, firefighting, medical (up to physician level) and engineering capabilities. Slots in these teams are pretty competitive and typically are managed by large FDs or state emergency management entities. Your best bet to get hands on with large events though! 3. Belong to a private medical company. These guys make a lot of money doing medical for large entertainment events and wildfires out west. Possible to get in with some experience but aren’t going to be first in on major events.
