I can think of a dozen people ay my agency! There were a few in classes I taught. Some men and women well into their 50s or early 60s. We all know age is just a number.

Congrats! Class may be over, but there's still so much to learn!

I got pulled over today for a little speeding. At the end of the interaction, the Trooper realized I was local EMS and said "You should have told me right away! We could've saved all this time." Has anyone experienced similar? I know many departments do 'professional courtesy' type exceptions...

When they're new, wash them cold and air dry them. Someone used the spray can scotch guard with some success, but they stiffen a little.

Thanks! I'm new and still working on navigation! That made it easy, but I feel dumb. :)

Ladies, have any of you had luck finding a brand of pants that fit well? Mine are either too big in the waist or too long in the crotch and nothing is comfortable AND functional. I'm tired of spending money at the tailor. Some help please!

It seems like with as many of us have the same concern (I know my agency has a tremendous # of people who feel this way) we should find the appropriate way to make our lawmakers and local governments aware.

You're incredibly judgmental and aggressive. This guy is apparently having a rough time (which I questioned at first) and instead of support, guidance or legitimate help you're just pushing him down farther. People like you, who prefer to sit in your ivory tower and chastise instead of taking...

What does his stature have to do with this? I think they prefer "little people".
