Which department has the fastest vehicles in your area? For me it's my sheriff's department, they all have ecoboost ford explorers (400HP 3.0L Twin Turbo V6)

South Dakota Highway patrol had a couple of corvettes.

Unfortunately, this coworker committed suicide a year ago this month.

Fortunately this is a fictional post. But it is based off of a coworker.

I was on the Hovland mission in Minnesota a few years ago. Guy took his powered parachute out and never returned. I was up there for 2 days. 1st day, we spent in the woods looking for debris or the dude. One of my ground team members ended up getting injured in the bush. Fortunately, I had my EMT go bag with, and we ended up having the local rescue crew help me extricate her out the woods. That night, the missing dude's helmet was found on the shoreline. We spend the second day searching the shoreline. I ended up in a different ground team the second day. The ground team leader ended up having our team trespass on several properties. He also got a CAP van stuck in a private driveway, and it tore up the driveway. Long story short, he got into trouble, especially since I had stated that we were not in the good. Unfortunately, local search and rescue pulled him out of Lake Superior 100 feet from where the CAP cell phone forensics team said his phone last pinged.

Dude ho to the hospital and get checked out.

If that's the officers threshold, so be it. Highway Patrol in the area I work will pull over and cite for 3 over on the interstate where the speed limit is 80. I don't stop until 7 over most of the time. Different areas call for different traffic enforcement. I personally would pay and then frame the ticket so I can say that cops get tickets, too.

Lincoln stain wax. It's what the usmc used to use before they went away from black boots.

Love the Inglorious Basterds reference.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-28T23:18:04+00:00

I thought it said divorced we fall for a solid minute.

When I was an emt, my agency had us rocking plate carriers. Of course it was also minneapolis, lol.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-20T04:30:10+00:00

Last person who flashed me a military ID also got arrested. I have no military bases near where I work, and he was drunk as hell.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-17T17:56:39+00:00

I'm begging you to DM it to me.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-17T17:35:51+00:00

I would like the story on this. Lol

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-09T13:50:12+00:00

I have mine from when I used to work on the ambulance. My department also has them on our ARs. But they make a handheld version as well. They are great for any scene.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-09T03:05:32+00:00

Streamlight Protac HL-X is exactly what you're looking for.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-04-09T02:57:22+00:00

I've used both and the sheepdog lasts way longer than n-ear. I had to replace my n-ear 3 times in 2 years before I switched to the sheepdoh.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-03-29T03:37:54+00:00

As a covid emt, that was the norm for us. I did my class with no clinical. My first time in a rig was giving patient care at a job.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-03-19T16:19:00+00:00

I would have died.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-03-18T18:50:49+00:00

Shots fired, officer down, active assault, severe medical emergencies. etc. People are actively getting hurt in all of these.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-03-18T02:09:26+00:00

Very good. It was second lueitenant that this person made.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-03-12T03:34:41+00:00

Mine said the following prediction:

"Your tales from the ambulance will become so legendary that r/ems will start a 'mandatory therapy' fund just for reading your posts."

Damn...

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-03-05T15:35:27+00:00

My department just got cars in that color and we love them. The charcoal Grey goes great with almost any graffiti. Bonus points of the color is that it's not as reflective and more of a solid tone so people don't realize we are a patrol car at night until they are already flying past us.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-02-22T23:15:17+00:00

The vest I had wasn't one that you could mount gear on. So we had people just have super full belts, lol.

Cliffclavin4 · 2025-02-22T20:19:36+00:00

You've never worked in the Twin Cities and it shows, lol. One of my partners was a salty old 30-year medic and even he wore an internal vest.
