Yeah. EMS management. It’s excellent so far. I highly recommend NFA to anyone who wants to learn how to be a better leader. It’s all free. Just apply.

That feeling you get when you're a generic Stormtrooper, just trying not to die, and are being hunted by Chewie, Yoda, Luke and a guy on a walker...

Glad to hear it. I was just looking at their list of classes. Shame I can't send certain supervisors there...they could use the leadership knowledge.

They are retooling the EMS management classes. The line level manager class will be a 2 day. There will also be a 10 day executive manager class.

Eek....a negligent discharge at my neighborhood gun range killed a customer as he walked up to the range office. Tragic and preventable.

Damn!!!! That is super unfortunate... Range safety officers present? That is always on my mind when I go to the range, and honestly makes me uneasy when I see retards at the range. I have packed up and gone home from alot of ranges without RSO's, and would rather shoot outdoors at friends property anyway. That dude/girl is gonna get the S sued outta them. Bye bye assets.

Probably about 2 years ago we had a guy go to the range to rent a gun. Shot himself in the head as soon as he stepped up to the lane.
I never go to the range because I don’t trust other people. I prefer to go out into the desert.

Not a firearms expert...but how does this ("an employee in his early 20s was working on a hunting rifle when it fired.") happen?
Pretty sure you don't work on loaded firearms...? Wouldn't that be like...working on a live wire (I know people do that, but...they are...experts)?

Funny working paper conclusion (here's hoping it gets published in JAMA or something):
Our results represent at least a 7% decrease in the ambulance rate from Uber entry into a city. This decrease likely caused a reduction in wait time for the remaining ambulance volume."
I love when people look at event studies like this. Makes for some fun findings!
