This sounds like one of those " Citizens Academy " things that police and

fire departments are known for doing. I guess ATC thought they ought to

monkey see-monkey do.

Class Rob real class.

Likely a dead guy or gal regardless of whom or how and you're busting chops

to whomever.

At least I don't need to expand on my opinion of this as I seem to be in

the majority on this point.

Maybe we should burry the dead first or hope for a good outcome since ATC

EMS does have a good Arrest to Discharge ratio as things go.

You're both wrong. It was a shot at PDs. I'm an equal opportunity offender.

It sounds to me like reporter-speak for the physical agility exam that's

normally associated with hiring processes.

Rob,

ATCEMS doesn't have a citizen's academy program. I'm waiting to see more from

the news locally.

I read it as more of a shot at Austin County EMS than FD’s and in light

of the situation even classier and smoother!

It's an exam where you simulate agility, Bob.

Typically, fat kids move a physically fit avatar around an obstacle

course on the computer, using a joystick and action buttons.

I think most people call it " World of Warcraft, " or something similar.
