I am a new member at a local fire house and while I know that I should not take anything personally, that all probies have to deal with the 1 year period, I find it rather upsetting that I can not get my Alpha and Minitor for some reason. There has been no explination as to why not, just that "someone will talk to you about it". I have a certain number of functions that I have to make during my probationary period and I find it difficult to make those if I have no way of knowing when a call comes in. From my research I have found that the Minitors are not cheap and that could be a reason why they are not willing to let me have one, but still, how do they expect people to make any ems calls or fire calls if they have no idea that one is coming in?
Any suggestions on how to handle this? Perhaps a site that sells similar devices that can be worn on a belt (non of those HUGE bulky scanners).
