How Did You Come Up With Your EMTBravo Name?

[SWEMCC70 0]

It's a combination of where I work and my employee number (SouthWest Emergency Medical Communications Center 70, a.ka. SW-CMED).

Heard a couple guys in my FD talking about it, asked them, went home and joined that night. That was 8 July 2004

[Oswegowind 17]

Another good question ,,,, How did you first hear about the site , ie. link, or word of mouth after a working fire or incident ?

I believe Seth was in Boston at the time and since we used to talk a lot he told me to join up and I did. I am not a big internet person and this site probably takes up 75% of my time on the internet. Big fan of the EMT B!

When originally signing up on AIM for a screen name, firefighter484 was taken, so I threw an 'x' on the beginning and end of it. 484 is my month and year of birth, April 1984.

I had heard a few people I know talking about EMTBravo about 3 to 4 years ago, but never thought much of it. After about a year of sporadically checking out local incidents that had pictures or a write-up posted, I got suckered in.

EMTBravo has absorbed me in.

It now probably accounts for about 75% of my internet time.

And I spend a lot of time online.

JBE is an abbreviation of a nick name I came up with a few years ago. J, for my first name, BE for my most prominent feature, Blue Eyes.

And, seeing as how I live in a neighborhood well known for its ties to organized crime, specifically the Gambino family, I think the name Jimmy Blue Eyes goes well.

[E106MKFD 56]

My friends talked about it so I tried it out and i've been adicted ever since!

[SageVigiles 1,194]

One of our guys who moved here from Kisco was all about this website and showed it to us, as well as our Chief of Department, so I took a look at it and got hooked... I suppose worse addictions could be had. Note: to anyone who has Facebook there is a group known as "I check EMTBravo once a day" Found that kind of fitting...

[Guest alsfirefighter]

ALS= Advanced Life support, being I'm a Paramedic

Firefighter= well duh if I have to explain that one.

I've had this name well before the emtbravo days where medicFF FFParamedic were basically all taken and somehow I came up with it. Don't even remember when or how I came to that one. Funny though that I've had people think my name is Al or that its my intials.

I had seen the pics over at EMTBravo.com a few times, but never checked out the forums. It wasn't until I was talking with Jason762 at work that he showed me the forums. I lurked around a bit and decided to join. Since then I have discovered other people I work with and other members of my FD who are members here, some of them even post occasionally.

[Guest skubasam]

Skubasam is the name of scubasteve's dad from the movie Big Daddy starring Adam Sandler. I use that handle for e-mail and user id's etc. Just liked it I guess. Came to know about this site from Seth himself. He used to work as a dispatcher with me in addition to his duties as a medic with WEMS.

I get my name from my Hubby, since I'm oringnally from Michigan and moved to NY about 15 years ago, it was a culture shock,I liked country Music, and it wasn't very well known here, so he made it up for me, It still fits.

I learned about this site thru him thanks GrumpyFF
