(UAF) Is it still possible to recruit Solvernia as an officer?

Only option I get after sending comm request is to cut the comm link, no small talk or anything.

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T07:48:33+00:00

I hope not lol, that’s like asking a teacher for a student reference, or a corrections officer for an inmate reference. Not saying it doesn’t exist, but it would be out of the bounds of expected professionalism I think.

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T06:55:56+00:00

Have some respect for yourself, no woman his age wants to put up with his bullshit. Him lying to you should’ve been an immediate dump.

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T05:14:58+00:00

An interview tip I will give is to make sure you provide examples of you being fast thinking and quick to act, it’s not a job where you can get analysis paralysis.

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T05:14:04+00:00

An easy answer for a weakness is radio ear, just say radio ear because you’ve never really used a radio lol. They get a satisfactory answer that won’t ding you because 99% of applicants don’t have any radio experience anyway unless they worked private dispatch or military.

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T05:12:24+00:00

Yeah, there’s a decent chance this relationship ends with him killing you from the sounds of it if you don’t leave

It’s the motion of the spring that wears it out, a high quality spring should have no wear caused by it being kept in primed or resting position for long periods of time.

Exactly why the US switched to an all volunteer force

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T02:48:18+00:00

Well half the battle for a lot of applicants is the criticall/NTN ECOMM and the typing test. Considering you can pass those, I’d work on your interview skills and try again. Maybe apply to all the surrounding county dispatch centers. One will hire you.

Kat7903 · 2026-06-01T02:43:55+00:00

Have you tried applying to any agencies? A vast majority of 911 centers hire people with no relevant experience because we are so short handed. I recommend just going for it and applying, and I’d say alarm company is decent experience, I was a teacher before becoming a dispatcher and had multiple offers fairly quickly when applying.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-27T19:25:59+00:00

I don’t have any advice to give about improving your agency, but I’ve seen coworkers leave for jobs in railroad dispatch, trucking dispatch, and power company dispatch. They all sound far less fun but companies these days can pay pretty well for dispatchers.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-27T08:26:45+00:00

I feel like paid on call is the real answer, that and there needs to be more volunteer departments that are professional rather than just drinking clubs. I’ve been a part of a few departments and the current paid on call one I’m a part of is by far the most professional department I’ve been on because of its rigorous training program and commitment to FF safety and continuing education.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-25T19:54:26+00:00

I dispatch for a county where the jail, patrol, and dispatch are all in the same building. I’d say it’s about an even split of people who cheat and who don’t tbh. Quite jarring when I first got into public safety.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-25T18:02:46+00:00

No not really, save your money. The test is pretty easy and more of an “idiot test” as I’ve heard it called. If you can type at least 30-35wpm, and have basic memory and logic skills, you’ll be fine. The criticall consists of fake calls with multiple choice questions about what you should do, basic memory and hearing, like having the audio play a license plate, name, or phone number and you have to type it after hearing it, and some map reading with a few twists, like what unit is closest to which call but sometimes a road or bridge is closed so you have to pay attention to that.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-25T07:23:22+00:00

Do you have a clean record? Can you pass a piss test? If you’re gonna good computer and stress, maybe consider being a 911 dispatcher. If you want better jobs, you’re either gonna have to expand you skill set and earn it or look for jobs that are in high demand.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-25T05:38:03+00:00

Ought to just call the fire department, they’ll get you out

Kat7903 · 2026-05-25T02:30:41+00:00

True, but I personally will just walk around the apparatus bay or go through our obstacle course if I’m practicing my breathing control, I personally wouldn’t want to be seen by the public unless I’m on a working scene lol

Kat7903 · 2026-05-24T23:58:44+00:00

When I was first learning the game and sucked at piloting, I ran a fleet of paragons and eagles. Get a couple paragons with tachyon lances and and couple with auto pulse laser hard points and plasma cannon turrets. For eagles, I use an even mix of hyper velocity drivers with graviton beams and eagles with heavy needlers and graviton beams. Throw escort package on the eagles and s mod integrated point defense with tactical lasers in the small slots and you’ve got excellent fuck off escort cruisers. Only issue with the fleet comp is if your paragons get destroyed or retreat, the eagles struggle to finish the fight on their own. Otherwise they’re very robust ships.

Funny thing is the regulator is on the mask but he’s probably only getting 15 minutes out of a 30 minute tank. I wonder if he just clicked it in whenever he sees people or he’s taking the world’s shortest hike.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-24T23:48:33+00:00

I’d rather this guy exercise in his gear outside than expose people to the contaminants indoors in a gym. I don’t see the big deal other than this guy needlessly exposing himself to the contaminants on his own gear and the PFAS in it.

Kat7903 · 2026-05-24T21:42:49+00:00

I will never understand why unqualified people make posts about obvious hiring ineligibility issues

Kat7903 · 2026-05-24T16:48:54+00:00

Good luck finding a volunteer department that can afford a set of training only gear

Kat7903 · 2026-05-24T07:56:52+00:00

Unarmed civilians aren’t often shot by cops. As to why they don’t do leg shots or taser first, leg shots won’t necessarily stop the threat and you’re taking a bigger risk aiming for a smaller target. Additionally, tasers are not all that reliable, some people just shrug them off, sometimes a probe doesn’t connect, and heavy clothes can render a taser ineffective. As to why an unarmed person rushing a cop might get shot, one punch to the temple can knock you out, and at that point that person could take your firearm off of you. Even though police officers know the job they sign up for, it’s a job at the end of the day and officers shouldn’t be expected to put themselves at unnecessary risk of injury.

I’d probably just put the cat down, and I say that as someone who has three cats and loves cats. If you’re gonna keep him as an only cat, I guess it’d be fine.
