Twice last night we took in someone who wanted to by pass the waiting room for a non-emergency care. (Rash between the toes, feeling sick for two days) Both went right to the waiting room. One left, called 911 to be taken to a different hospital and cussed us out when we told them we had to go to the closest hospital since we were in the drive way.

To make the wife happy on #VeteransDay, here is me in 1991 and 2023 For some reason she likes me then and now. I think it’s the pension, she says she earned it putting up with 22+ years and eight deployments.

Happy #VeteransDay: to my Dad (Army), Granddad (Navy), grand Uncle (Army Air Corp), Uncle and Aunt (National Public Health), Sister (Army), Great Granddad (Marines), Cousins x3 (Air Force, Army x2), Uncle - dads side- (Navy), and all my Army battle buddies over the years.

My home state. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Found my class one job when I was 42. Was able to go full time at 45. Love being a paramedic. Would do it for free. Of course money money would be nice. (Maybe a bit less overtime as well) I found it by looking at what I was doing as a volunteer and then took a part time job, then realized I like it better so applied for full time. Would I do my job for no pay if money did not matter? Yes, I did for ten years!

This is why the Sectary of War called the flag officers to be lectured. Here is the TX national guard arriving in Chicago. Their leaders failed them. Failed them by sending them like this. Failed them by letting them get this way. Likely failed them by not setting an example.

Training continues for the Norwegian Foot March. Goal is 18.6 miles (30 km) with a 25 lb (11 kg) pack in 5 hr (5 hrs) Pace is good but the last mile and a half it dropped to 16:50 from 15:04-15:11 #running

I work on an Army post I go to the gym in the mornings before work, and the last two days you would think it was new years I’ve also seen twice the number of PT formations than normal I think the talk by Hegseth triggered the current leadership Will have to see if it sticks #SecWar #militaryculture

Well the @SecDefHegseth came out with support for less on line mandatory training, stricter physical standards, and ending politically correct training. The later is what the media focused on. Calling it “allowing hazing”. Which what he said is not.

We also see a lot more than combat troops. I’m an army reserve member (US) and have had 8 deployments since 2002. I’ve been a EMT/paramedic in my civilan job since 1997. I have seen more gun shot wounds in EMS than in the military, and a lot more dead people. Many of those I was actively trying to save. The movie “Code 3” is very close to some of what we do, and “Bring out your dead” (nick cage) shows a lot of the emotional side of the job. (Mothet, Jugs, and Speed is just funny)

EMS (some places are part of Fire) has the highest non-combat rates of PTSD. We see, hear, smell, touch, and are part of some of the worst moments in a persons life. There is no normal shift. Interrupted sleep (if you get any), no meal breaks, no stopping to rest. Worse is the swing in calls. First run, old man slid out of recliner lift assist, then short of air 21 yo anxiety attack, then 4 yo drowning, 57 yo injuried toe possible Gangrene, 19 yo fever, overdose 37yo at club, 49 yo homeless “cold injury”, and last on shift car crash three kids not in car seats adult not buckled minor damage but serious injuries. Go home and fall asleep for four hours then go back to work. We are hireing, paramedics start at $18.00 USD

People help others. 
Yesterday we went to a dinner for person down. 
When we arrived two people were doing cpr on the patient. 
They did not know the patient, just saw the patient collapse and helped. 
Others cleared the area for us, held the doors and had called 911. 
The patient was a complete stranger to them. #love

First training march for the Norwegian Foot March in six weeks. Have five hours to go 18.6 miles with a 30 lb pack. Pretty sure if I’m careful in training I’ll be able to do it. (But boy do my shoulders hurt, legs/feet just feel warm and normal) #Norwegian #runner

Went to my Friendly Local Coin Shop (FLCS) and picked this up for my monthly buy. Every paycheck I put $25 into an envelope and once a month buy an ounce of #silver.

My neighbor has a tree that in the early fall, before the leaves drop, casts a shadow on my #solar panels. You can see the little dip about 1700 where it hits. It will get worse through October. But once the leaves drop it goes away. In spring it gets it leaves after it casts.
