  1. Not so difficult if you have some TNT!
  2. Thanks for posting this...now I can print the article and post it on the Dispatcher's locker...Bond, still our newest ace!
  3. save them up and when the time comes...try to use them as collateral on a loan or something...good luck!
  4. Was in Chinatown yesterday and saw a Queens North Task Force (QNTF right?) van parked on Mott St. with a Fed Sig Vista all LED light bar. First time I saw this series light bar...anyone know if they are any good???? I know that the troopers have the LED bottom bar now, but LED's where the rotators are was new to me at least for that light bar. NYPD unit 5578 was unit I saw. No pics though.
  5. How about some old school YPD radio room photos from your youth ages??? So far it is great...really entertaining! And what is the "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT"? Was it the calendar thing????
  6. I have read about this, and it remains speculation...I have a good feeling that it became common place due to retail outlets using it. As in most cases it is believed is was xp, not just x as an abbreviation, and when was the last time you heard someone say merry x-mas (eksmas)? I usually don't get offended at things, but this is just one of my pet peeves, like idiots that can't use their turn signals to turn or change lanes!
  7. Is there a civilian chain of command...a way to move up the ladder???? As well, how bout that OT? Looking at the listing, there is no residency requirement?
  8. Thanks for the info! Hadn't heard of this one YET!
  9. I wouldn't be surprised if a select few did or do in the future. There are always the one's that use stuff like this for political gain...Sometimes we have to be a bit more vigilant and see the final product before we okay it!
  10. Very interesting...similar to online security cameras that you can view from anywhere...no? Could you imagine EMTBravo instant Fire/Emergency Scene UPLOADS?????????
  11. Please change the title of your thread from "x-mas" to Christmas. To this day, I believe that "X" is very disrespectful and should be banned!
  12. For those Yankees fans...this is the guy that sings the National Anthem at all major games, and after 9/11 he was singing at every game in 2002...Excellent voice and wow what a story...all should read his BIO... Links: Ronan Tynan Website RT on Wikipedia
  13. Happy belated Thanksgiving, I spent mine working the A and B shifts (late/day at YPD) on Oscar Tango! Of course, we had a foot pursuit regarding an ongoing larceny from auto at 0600 hrs...that really woke me up!!!!
  14. When I first started in EMS, Peekskill VAC had 2 type 1's. Both were chevy's I am pretty sure. Loved em, only drawback was you couldn't walk through from the cab to the box...just a little window... I prefer a simple van ambulance, straight and narrow! I always found it easier to get to things and remain seated...However we only had 1 radio and no MDT in the front so I can't comment on comfortability.
  15. That is "WHERE" Emtbravo.com was born...as in started from as if a baby...
  16. That's great...just wait til he runs a boat and I answer him on Ch. 2, ...LOL
  17. Taken from: LoHud.com Westchester News Section For all of my fellow Westchester County Property Owners, when will we get a break?
  18. Taken from City of Yonkers.com YPD-Good Police Work Section-November 2007 This is in the November 07 section because of the time and date it occurred...October had already been closed out. A couple of members of this site were involved in this job...including YPD ESU personal, The helo pilots, and the dispatcher (don't know the guy...LOL). Was very smooth and all went down in about 47 seconds, as my Captain pointed out! Just goes to show you how the "eye in the sky" can save the taxpayers some monies!
  19. Ouch...19 years! Sorry, can't say anymore right now! LoHud.com LINK! Takes you to their Homepage!
  20. And here is the rest of the Greenburgh Story, published 11-15-07...quoted from LoHud.com-Journal News online News Center Picture:
  21. I heard many a good story about the EMS crews in those trailers...shots fired??? HAHAHA!
  22. Oh boy..didn't realize that x710! Ouch...I quit the "B"
  23. Oh...duh! Yeah, I have to talk to her all the time...she would be too obvious...it was someone more obscure...wait, got it, Sgt. Graham! That's Aviation Sgt. Graham, once again former Empress employee...1 more time and he will be considered a Reben Repeater!
