I'm relatively blasted with tattoos and have never had an issue. All my agencies have let me wear short sleeves with a skin tone coverup sleeve.

It's high volume, SSM private service EMS with a very weird relationship with Fire.
I have a few buddies that used to work at AMR and hated it then an old student who currently works at MW and loves it.

I've had more than a handful of conversations with him.
No arguing that he's done a lot for the profession. With that said, his general demeanor is "do it my way or you're wrong and you will fail."
Also, like TJ said, he can be extremely dismissive towards younger providers and is extremely...

Says the guy who carries a gun daily [emoji13]
Like I said before, I'm in the middle on this one. Even if I were allowed to carry when I was at work I'm not sure if I would.
One question I have is people always use the argument that there's not enough training. If the state says I'm trained...
They don't? I never said they did...
The article talks about DOC crews as well and how the prisoners involved in DOC crews do better than those who just sit in prison serving their time. Right after it mentions asking for a budget for parolee crews.
I'm assuming the DOC may be involved as it...
