The difference between my partner and I: he shows up to work a half hour early and works those 30 minutes off the clock, while I show up 10-15 minutes before start time and sit in my truck until it's time to punch in.

Does anyone else show up early and work off the clock?

We can't clock in early. I'm there usually a 1/2 hour early, but not working. As far as taking a call early, I'm fairly certain admin would rather pay me 30 minutes of overtime vs the old medic possibly 2+ hours of it.

Seeing as how Ambulance Officers are salaried Brown has no desire to clock in early.

I'm going shooting friday. And I'm gonna shoot at the people. I'm so excited. The only time I'm allowed to handle my friends gun now is when she has the clip out because of the last time she let me hold it.

I was totally anti firearm before this. But man was there a rush of power.

"Can I hold your gun...? Where can I shoot it?"
"Uhm.. you only shoot if your life is in danger or..."
"Ok, let's go find a bum."
"OR AT A SHOOTING RANGE! GET BACK HERE I'LL TAKE YOU FRIDAY"

Go shotgun shooting if you can. Shotgun shooting (trap) > pistol shooting.

I always show up to an EMS shift 15 minutes early (preferably 30 minutes early) as a courtesy to the crew from the previous shift, so they don't end up having to take a call at the last minute (which in HEMS can last up to 4 hours when you factor in restocking at the helipad).

I think it largely depends on the setup. If you are working a unit that is staffed continuously, then I can see showing up a bit early. If, on the other hand, the unit is staffed discontinuously (i.e. day car), then I can't see any reason to show up early. I definitely can't see a reason to work off the clock.
