Richard B the EMT Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 June 3, 1985 is the day I entered municipal employment, reporting to the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation Emergency Medical Services Academy, then in the Nurse's Residence Building of Queens General Hospital. I spent 11 years in the Communications Bureau, and after the "merger" into the FDNY on March 17, 1996, finished my time "in the field" out of Station 47, Rockaway (Queens County, NYC), mostly on unit 47Adam3, covering Far Rockaway. Happy Anniversary to all my brother and sister EMT classmates in NEOP (New Employee Orientation Program) 85-02. Special shout out to Carlos Lillo, one of my classmates, and one of the 2 Paramedics included in the 343 FDNY Line Of Duty Deaths of September 11, 2001. I'm now medically retired 5 years, and due to accrued injuries, allowed my NY State EMT "certs" to expire the end of last summer.
