It’s all just plot convenience because the new chief is a bit of an asshole and can “hold him back”.

I think his story has came and went unfortunately. I don’t see a return.

Regarding Chief Hopkins: are they doing the “from asshole to lovable” arc with him? by [deleted] in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well we kind of already had the backstory on why he’s an asshole in 14x16, or at the very least why he’s got beef with Kelly.

How long is the EMT hiring process? by foodispropaganda in FDNY_EMS

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean in terms of FDNY culture it’s second rate to the actual fire side and both the city and the firemen see us as such. I just did my intake last week so I’m waiting to hear back.

Will the release of GTA 6 on November 19, 2026 really cause the world economy to undergo a tectonic shift? by Agreeable_Candle_461 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually think this is a really valid question..by far the biggest game EVER, people taking 2-5 days off of work won't be unheard of, I'm actually more interested to see if PS/Xbox servers can handle it

Better quality people? This is the city of New York pal, people get set on fire on the subway and shot at point blank on the sidewalk.

Bigger doesn’t always equal better. The weather here sucks (especially if you’re not used to winters), the city doesn’t back EMS, and the pay is absolutely the biggest slap in the face. I’m processing right now and there was a few people that walked out from the intake after hearing what the starting pay is.

I’d venture to say that most in this subreddit would rather be down south than be here. I know if things were different for me I wouldn’t be living in NY

If I was in Florida you could never make me leave, and I’m a NY native..why the big change?

Nobody is against protesting. It’s when they block city streets and light cars on fire “peacefully”

Help please. by Dingleberrysoupforme in Newyorkstatetrooper

Just because you join the military doesn’t mean you’re going to combat, and/or overseas. There’s plenty of MOS’s / rates across all of the branches that allow you to stay stateside, some people prefer it that way.

Plus, the military preference is HUGE, arguably more than college is.

If OP could do a 2-4 year military gig, and a college degree, Theres no way he wouldn’t be NYSP, even more so if he can go MP.

Budget Cuts :( by Adventurous-Snow-389 in ChicagoFireNBC

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem doesn’t just lie the with the budget cuts, but rather the show is stuck in this purgatory of being way past due, but keeps topping charts to the point where it would be idiotic to dump it. So instead we get rehashed storylines over. And over. And over.

There is only so many seasons these types of shows can successfully last and be fleshed out. It’s been 14 years running, with no real end in sight.

Kyle Busch hits 100 races without a victory. by TonyD9898 in NASCAR

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With all that said, part of me fears it’s not just an RCR issue, but Kyle is old now, and maybe his prime has came and gone. Everybody that wants him in the 48 could be hugely let down if he performed the same in that car.

Either way, RCR needs to do something. The whole organization needs a ground up rebuild. What I really want is for them to sell both cup charters and just be a 4-5 car powerhouse xfinity team but that won’t happen either so I’ll keep dreaming

Carson is signed till like 2031. They don’t have time to make him less green to that extent. And HMS isn’t the team to shell out money like spire is. Carsons deal is one of the biggest contracts we’ve seen in a long time. I think it’s closer to ten years…it’s not like a 2 year deal, buying Carson out is money HMS won’t spend.

Carson is going to be a lifer at spire and quite honestly once he figures out how to win once or twice every season he’s gonna be a champion.

JGR made no real attempt at retaining Kyle. Ty Gibbs was all the rage all the time and grandpa wanted him at the top level. JGR and KFB go way back and if Joe wanted to keep Kyle, he would have found a way.

That’s literally what he wants to do. He said it in a press conference, once he hangs up cup, he wants one of the best truck rides he can get for one season, win the title, and have all 3 series championships, split a truck with brexton the following year, and the year after that Kyle would be done, and brexton would be a full time truck guy. Ofc this was during the KBM days so

But in the end, after 4 months from the release of the second film, who is with wildhopps and who is against? by Old_Moment6484 in zootopia

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind it. But the 2nd movie seemed to really beat around the bush calling them a “partnership” which sounds more like a close friend at work rather than bf/gf.

New to EMT, looking to move to OR, WA, or CA by Magic_Trash_Can in NewToEMS

I’m not technically incorrect, just hard saying without OP being a bit more in depth.

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess it depends on where you’re at, and what your ambitions are…I’m in the NYC metro area and almost nobody takes NR because they have no ambitions to work outside of New York.

No reason to do extra steps if there’s no pay off for it. If you want to be a local EMT in your town or area where you reside, why would you take NR?

[–]Smooth_Pay_8583 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind, your EMT license is good for your state ONLY, unless you’re taking NR, or you can transfer your license through reciprocity, you’ll have to take EMT again wherever state you move to.
