No Daniel, there are men and women in the world who have completed back to back combat tours for the past 15 years: yet they don't spend every moment they can reminding people they are/have been in the military, nor broadcasting it to every person they can via every medium. Perhaps if you had...

Time to get finished on visiting every US State...road trip planned for next month is Dallas-Oklahoma-Kansas City-St Louis-Nashville-Memphis-New Orleans-Mobile-Dallas Best get some Johnny Cash and Elvis downloaded onto my phone

Large arms training? I do that Monday Wednesdays and Fridays...for a military contracting job though I tend to put 'Heavy Weapons'.....

Don't mean to hijack your question. But to understand what you're saying, the pass rate for NREMT P testing in Florida is <40%? As in, less than 40% of people in Florida that take the NREMTP are passing?

Daniel G for Medal of Honor.

Delta are not any better unfortunately. I had a similar experience on international flights last month.Very surprised if you dont get some sort of compensation though! If you get stuck in Dallas and Im in country gimme a shout I'll put you up

On the one hand everything you type is about your military experience and the other is you're too stupid to know any better? Two things should have been ingrained into you- humility and professionalism. I would suggest you try engaging those to maintain some form of standards if you are now a...

I don't think you mention the military in enough of your posts, perhaps you should mention it a bit more.

Lol 'Baby look what I got you- a gym membership so you won't be a HUGE FAT GUY". Would love to be a fly on the wall to see how that would go down..."

I didn't suggest the wearing of body armor- I just suggested that having a control point does not result in safety for personnel stationed there. I don't advocate having kneejerk reactions to every possible scenario- but I certainly am all about having plans in place to avoid being caught out.

Not necessarily the case. With incidents becoming more frequent it is only a matter of time before secondary and tertiary devices come into play. It is not hard to predict the likely location of control points... 1- Detonation of a device in a public area/begin active shooter sequence in...

I think it is situation dependant- if a department is saying all personnel should be wearing body armor as a mandatory precaution in daily duties (in the same fashion LEO's wear it during their shifts)- then I think it should be covert body armor used...there's no need to confuse the public as...

The only real variables due to uniform are -stethyscope -trauma scissors -boots -belt or for downtime (sitting around waiting for a call) -charging ports/cables for phone -tons of movies/movie access via phone -ipad type thing/kindle

If theyre $200 you wouldnt be replacing them anytime soon, for example my snakeskin boots I wear to work have lasted for ages. My bear hide serves as a great warmer upper for the winter months too!

The US government puts all of its resources into the military, and for fear of political repercussions they put on the facade of being seen to care for former military veterans via the VA. The reality is <10% of the military are fighting/spearhead soldiers, much less are involved in combat, much...

Do the move to Texas one, much cheaper than the other 2 options lol

True, good point

There are plenty of countries in the world with much more violent crime than the US, and those places haven't deemed it necessary to arm their paramedics. When EMS departments begin to enforce mandatory wearing of body armor and helmets at all times on duty, then I might start questioning the...

"in the Army they just do what the person above them tells them to do (not paid to think)" Okie dokie bruce.
