Well Mobey, I see that you atleast read my reply. Thank you for that. Just a quick question for you, What makes you sure that any ambulance coprs, either paid or volunteer, might not have anything to hide? As for the whole popular thing in the adult world, I believe it carries over from the childhood of people who don't want to grow up. It really shouldn't come into play in an adult world. As for shutting down all volunteer ambulance corps. that would be improbable. There maybe a day it happens. But if you think about some of the politics involved, would you like to be the elected offical who dissolves a volunteer orginization and raises taxes for the city? As for dosing reality, I agree with you on that. I did tell him to just do what you are trained to do and let it go. That is reality. Reality sucks sometimes. But as for labeling someone as Emo, Goth, Jock, or Nerd, that is labeling and puts you into a category. And maybe that means you actually have something to hide. Or are you saying that you are PERFECT?? Guaranteed that there is someone out there by you that would disagree with it. I do understand that it is an open forum and everyone can say anything they want. i did and it seems that you are assuming I am making petty threats. It is not a threat when I, just like you, spoke my mind. And if that last comment on my reply makes me seem like I am labeling myself than I guess I did. I labeled myself as a person who speaks my mind. You say I need to check my attitude and have an open mind. I have an open mind or I would have just told you to F*@K OFF. But you are entitled to your opinion. I would never try to say anything different. But you also have to realize I will defend my friend as well. But I do have an open mind. I asked for a constructive comment and you gave one. You are entitled too that. But remember one thing, you can be paid or volunteer but what matters the most is if you are a PROFESSIONAL. 2 or 3 people out of 10 remember the good that is done but 7 to 9 remember the bad. So as long as you are professional and do everything you can to do good then people will remember you when your career is over. So like I said leave a constructive comment like Mobey or Kiss My Ass!!

Listen to all you that put off Darkanglex66. I am his First Lt. Paul has been busting his ass to get where he is. I trust him on calls to get the job done in a professional capacity. He has proven himself for the position that he ran for. As for the person he lost to, he is correct about the lenght of time that person has. That person may have been able to learn enough to survive in a little town like Garfield but not in a city environment like Paterson, Newark or Jersey City. The new kid would wind up getting hurt. Paul would be able to hold his own. I have work in the inner-city and know what is necessary. The crowd that the new kid is running with is the same crowd that lost control of a volunteer ambulance corps to a paid service. Rural Metro was in town during the weekdays from 6a to 6p for daytime calls only. The Captain at that times had family issues and need to take time off. The new person who took over lost the squad because they wanted to party and not take calls. Someone politically connected died and the volunteers were almost shut down while Rural Metro took over. That person is the same person leading the crew that the new kid fell in with. Would you want someone who is learning from a person who almost caused the volunteer corps to shut down.? Paul has never conformed to the popular crowd. He may look like a "goth kid" but he is in duty uniform for his shift. I have never been in the popular crowd just part of the crowd that knows what it takes to have a Volunteer rig get out of the bay and to the call no matter what. Right now I am injured and am forced to take time off. my body needs to heal. For all you that think either of us are airing the corps dirty laundry, you need to get a clue and realize that it is just the tip of the iceberg that you are hearing about. And like an iceberg atleast 75% of it lies buried under the surface and will never be seen or discussed. So you should learn to shut you mouths and realize that your corps has alot of dirt that you wouldn't want out either. And for all of you that think Paul is crying over losing, he isn't. Paul set a goal which is more than I can say for the rest of the popular crowd. He went for his goal and got shot down. But he didn't roll over and cry. He got up and got on that rig and answered calls like nothing happened. He is a person that I would have watch my back on a call. The new kid will grow into a good EMT and maybe a good leader eventually. But to bitch about a person who wanted to vent his feelings instead of letting them eat away at his insides only says to me that either you are a poor EMT or more importantly a scared little person who wants to be accepted. So anyone who has problems with what I said either leave a constructive comment or KISS MY ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
