  20. Just answer the question and tell the truth 100%. If you have seen a Psychiatrist in the past for what ever reason thats ok.Just answer the questions to the best of your knowledge don't leave anything about your medical history out or say you forgot.Don't listen to what others are saying about the exam 7/8 of them don't even have a badge. I took the exams several years ago in hopes to cross the floor to the Fire Department some day because of the fact that i was older than 27 and could not take the FD test anymore. The Invetigators do make the rounds so you better be living where you ssay on that application. At the time they were waiving the college credits around so you could get hired if you were short credits. You had to get them when you were in better position after the Police academy thoe. Still a great job with plenty of avenues to transfer to different jobs once you got your sea legs.
  21. Nice old girl
  22. Nissan is in the market with a high top van now. I saw one yesterday kinda weird looking but practical I'm sure.
  23. 10 years is the life span per the new standard. Three things are killing gear that might go under the radar.One overwashing the gear. You dont need to wash your gear every single time it gets dirty. Another thing that is killing gear is the Soap the gear is being washed in. The NFPA Standard has a specific amount of PH in the soaps that are avaible make sure your PH is correct or it will damage the PBI.One more thing to consider is making sure the washing machine is only turning at one G .Aparently machines that spin more than one G force will ruin the fabrics. Also make sure the hot water is at the correct temprature.
  24. I guess talking about lights is off track my fault I'm sorry.
  25. I see that all the new Fdny rigs are hitting the streets with a blue light in the rear. Is that because blue is a brighter light vs red???. In ct the police have blue and red in the light bars but colors are not helping the Connecticut state police because in the past I say 10 months they have been hit several times all over the state. The drivers just don't slow down period no matter what is happening on the side of the road. A new law started in 2011 states that drivers wil merge over one lane when they see flashing lights including our tow truck brothers. I have not seen a single car with ct plates merge over yet. I'm all for placing that rig between the lanes but with that,In my own department guys don't take the lane every time they just pull up behind the accident scene. That's not in my pay grade to fix. I'm starting to wonder if accidents are picking up because the rigs have so much lights on them that the human eye is sucked into the lights and bam another accident. But I'm no scientist When you travel in the deep south Police cars have only a lightbar and maybe a rear set of lights that's it. I wonder if they have the same amount accidents???
