No - I got the just kidding part. I just didn't know who was sending the original comment to begin with, no worries. PM - In regards to the otherthing or get me cell from Drock. It would be quite interesting to post some pics together. As for the feasibility "on pavement" I think it can be done. It at least has possibilities.

New Supervisor truck

It's always nice to have something different to drive; change is good. We always take the time to put our spin on whatever specialized vehicles we use and I think we have a really good mix of vehicle types. Whether it's the big 4700 International Truck with MCC, an F-250 with utility body, Explorer, Expedition, Tahoe, or even a work in progress like the soon to be converted Ford ambulette, they all serve a purpose and enable us to effectivley use our resources. Oh, I forgot, stop picking on truck 301 lol

I'm not sure which photo your referencing, but the only yellow item which is worn on a members belt is a Radiation dosimeter. (Mini-Radiac)

SOD Medics becomming familiar with working in PPE All training is good training
