  6. Yankee Stadium has its own stop on the Hudson Line only open for games. Added train on Game Days (around game times to and from) A awesome addition, no parking woes, no traffic on the Deegan... and another plus is you can drink on the train and during game and not worry about the drive right after the game...
  7. Where in the definition of "Volunteer" does it say lack responsibility? It seems to me to be the ever growing "attitude" within volunteers. Whether it is a new mandate for training , or a change in operations for better overall function of your home dept. It seems to me that the "excuse" of "I'm a volunteer, why should I have to take OSHA," or "I'm a volunteer why should I have to be at my ambulance when I am rostering that time." The last time I checked when I became a volunteer at the age of 16, I joined because it was something I enjoyed doing and wanted to help. Just because you don't receive any type of monetary payments does not mean you cant uphold yourself to the same standards as everyone else. I for one feel that without changing that outlook, volunteers will be a rapidly dying breed. Now for those that don't me, and may think I am "voly bashing" get your facts straight. I have been in my dept for 10 years, and put as many hours as any other active voly. I have not forgotten where I came from, and continue to provide the service and have the attitude as of a volunteer just as I would at work. The main objective of this topic is to answer the following ques. and agree or disagree with the above statement, (Because I am a volunteer I don't have to uphold responsibility.) Is this attitude moral oriented? Is it something that can be changed? If so how?
  8. Not any real specific incidence just one of the many examples I can think of....
  9. Those are understanding circumstances and you do what you can, but I am refering to growing population within the volunteer world that think its ok to Not show up to a rostered shift. or classes and use the term volunteer as a crutch to avoid responsibility......

Laughter XXX to 412 - XXk nd XXX okay in order to get this right I must tell the whole story, (we have a development that all the roads are xxxberry) We get dispatched to a road that doesnt have berry in it and I was unsure of address and couldnt find it in the map book.

  15. Awesome, no the quote box thats in a reply (like above) wasnt showing up but it is there now..... it was just HTML text I believe... I looked at my profile 2day and noticed that some of the text didnt line up within a box, "personal info" was spaced out too far, same as "My Settings · View New Content · Manage Friends · 0 New Messages" above is lower than the light blue... and anything on it bringing you to the top/start of the thread verses the most recent/bottom post?
