Re: *new bookie 200% k hits!!!! Thread!!! Due to slowness of other thread!!* post up!
if it were only that simple... i'm unfortunately one of the aging that were optimistic, then became realist, and now finally cynical... it's not pretty, but although i can help some, the real issue is people often know how and what to change but are unwilling to do so..
With accidents we can only offer to do our best, to do the things that others refuse to do and to take care of ourselves and fellow firefighters/medics....
In minnesota the FD is the 1st responder on 90% of all calls... so we get the "i've fallen and can't get up, suicides, car accidents..
we are a small dept 70 calls per month is average.. it's volunteer but we get paid on the calls we go to... 1/2 of our salary is put to a retirement fund... works out to about $22 hr..
but the fellowship is the reason i'm doing it..
Thank you for everything you do for Society.
