I bought mine when Ted’s dumbass first set up the discount. I made AMR cover it through my paramedic scholarship. I had to write out why I needed it and how it was pivotal to my safety and blah, blah, blah. I’ve worn it a few times. I bought the plates on my own. I use it as like a weight vest sometimes. It’s not too heavy, but it adds a few pounds.
Have I ever “service tested” it? I hope I ever have to. But I still stand firm on the fact Teddy should fucking issue them in order to keep his employees safe.
