New Here...Hello!

[Tactical EMT]

Hey everyone! I'm Kevin, an EMT student that will graduate May 26, then go to take my National Registry exam.

Welcome.

[ERDoc]

Welcome fellow Michigander.  Curious about your user name.

Thank you.  I was trying to think of a tactful way of asking this same question.

[ERDoc]

Since when do we do anything tactfully here?

[Arctickat]

Hath hell frozen over? I can't fathom you being tactful.

[Just Plain Ruff]

I was wondering the same thing about the user name as well.

Welcome to the city. Maybe the name comes from hearing about all us? We do rule the world of "tactfulness"

Welcome aboard, little Grasshopper! Let the EMT City teams help get you established as an EMT first, with a bit of experience before going tactical.

Having said that, I was an EMT, EMT-D(efibrillator), and EMT-B(asic) for 41 years, now retired for 5 with my NY State EMT "certs" expired from last summer. I never was asked to go tactical, although I did think of going for USAR Team NYC 1, before medical issues made me reconsider.

We may be gruff, easy, and hard on you, all at the same time,  Tactical EMT, but we all mean well, even when we seem to be attacking you, politely, of course. Let us help you get your act together, before you do any "oopsies".

You spelled tactless wrong.
