Awesome!
Some teens. Some.
Some cannot figure out what state they live in.
Was the same way in Illinois in our volunteer fire dept.
When I lived in New Jersey, there were a number of older high school students in my town who were on the local volunteer first aid squad (The TV series “Emergency” was a great recruiting tool in the seventies). My father was the lieutenant on the first aid squad as well as an EMT instructor, and they were some of his students. Some had a decent kit in the back of their cars. I just wonder if these days the same kit would violate the “zero tolerance” policies.
In one case a student got injured in one of the shop classes. The call went out over the PA system for certain. students to get to the shop. By the time the ambulance arrived, the patient was ready to be transported.
THAT is why we need to have no illegals:
Kids LEARN how to deal with the world via their jobs. Greeting people, handing strife, bieng on time, many things. You learned that stuff via your first jobs.
theater ticket taker - illegal alien
McDonalds - illegal alien
Roofing - illegal alien
farm stuff - illegal aliens
Restraurant - illegal aliens
People permit them to FLOOD in, then wonder why in heck kids can’t handle stress, can’t learn manners.
Ilegals TAKE THEIR JOBS and our kids don’t learn what they need to.
Several years ago, I saw a program about the development of the Atom bomb.
At Oak Ridge Tenn. They had hired a whole bunch of teenage girls to operate machines which did some kind of highly technical work, maybe separating uranium from ore.
A person who was over a large amount of the program visited and was taken aback that they had those girls doing such critical work. Their supervisor told him that they were very good at the job.
The guy over the entire program did not agree but did agree to a test. They had some of the machines run by scientists and some run by the teenage girls.
The girls beat them badly.
I grew up in Fairfax County Va and in 60s they had a very similar program. A lot of my running buddies were volunteers and had all sorts of wild tales.
The fire department ran the ambulance service and both were paid for through the taxes. However each firehouse had a core of full time professionals who lead and trained the volunteers.
When we’re talking about ‘TEENS”, i think about the FR fave term “teens”. I’ll be those are not the other “teens” that’s always in the news.
I’ll bet they don’t hang up on callers.
Connecticut, while it has troubles (mostly liberal Dems taxing and spending), has lots of towns (no counties) with volunteers in EMT and fire. A town where was business was had volunteer fire department, but they do train to might fires. Saves money...
