Then why bring sexuality or orientation into the discussion? What is being implied?. YOU called out that she was openly lesbian. I don't think I've ever come across a debate where someone was referred to as an open heterosexual, after they were appointed to a similar position. Gaslighting...

I don't disagree. Was only addressing the logic, that someone who does not start from the bottom of a profession is unqualified to lead said profession, is rather flawed.

Name change? I have no idea what you are on about. Wasn't my intent to rile you up. It's okay to not know things, we all started from somewhere... when we know better, we hopefully do better. Myself included.

Very odd that this is your takeaway. Especially considering there is no mention to anything of the sort in the news article or the comments in this thread. Do you know something we don't, or just throwing it out there to poison the well?

You're missing a lot, which is not unusual for "rank and file" individuals. C-Suite positions do not require expertise in technical applications. They do require, being influential, seeing the big picture, strategic planning, budgeting/finance and directing senior leaders (that oversee rank and...

I was being intentionally hyperbolic, as I perceived the comment I replied to to be. The tropes that are recklessly thrown around in this community are the problem in my opinion. Happy Holidays!

Isn't it though?

The rationalization for negligence here is mind numbing. We should expect more/higher standard from field practitioners. 🤦‍♂️

Here is a listing https://www.sentencingproject.org/reports/private-prisons-in-the-united-states/ And another interesting stat regarding inmate growth https://nicic.gov/weblink/private-prisons-united-states-2021 and more like $350,000,000+ collectively. I usually check my mail late in the...

I would have it no other way... Let's start off by understanding (and conceding) that my statement you quoted does not directly apply to the case of the Paramedics who were convicted, nor does it attempt to address whether they deserved the guilty verdict and/or did anything wrong. Now on to...

I'll wait for you to point out the specifics and I'll rebut with data/case study... and gentleman's honor (will NOT be using ChatGPT or anything similar)

The prison system is actually designed to generate revenue and capitalize off of cheap labor, which in turn provides incentive to keep them full by way of a revolving door mechanism rife with frivolous arrests, prosecutions and inequitable applications of sentencing guidelines. Was justice...

Send/IM me your details if you are (or anyone else for that matter) seriously interested in a Paramedic position in Afghanistan. Current/former candidates have hailed from: Canada South Africa Portugal UK New Zealand US Philippines

FYI on the Ukraine gig Management (in-country) has been a disaster. The company (Netherlands based affiliate) was subject to a class action lawsuit initiated by current/former employees. There were claims/rumors of per Diem not being paid (pocketed by local management), wrongful terminations...

Send me your contact details if you are interested in trying your hand at remote medicine (Afghanistan)

I'll actually be heading (back again) to KAF shortly, but I try not to linger there, as I bounce around between FOBs... it's hazardous to my mental health :P I like to shop/wander for an hour or so between flights, but do my best to avoid staying overnight. I'll definitely make an effort to...

It happened down at LNK. (I'm told) a couple of Medics decided to sneak out at night, on a few occasions, with Marines on patrol. I guess they wanted to see some action. Sucks for them, and I hope it was worth it :sad: I would love to go out into the surrounding towns, frequent the shops and...

As do I There is never an occasion (in my job) to go outside the wire. There's been a few medics who have tried it... they were sent home post haste.

I really liked Tarin Kowt... Wolverine is the bee's knees! I'm a city boy, and never knew what the skies could REALLY look like at night. I will say though, living at sea level, then hanging out at 6000+ is quite the culture shock. I still get winded when performing even the most minor tasks...
