Im sure A**S will hate me for saying this. However you couldn't really call them a Ambulance Service in my personal opinion. This sounds awful to say. However SJA Volunteer stations were better equipped & trained. Thats just how I felt.
I was warned by a SJA individual about A**S and I should have listened. However you live and learn from your mistakes.. and move forward.!!
Also I really disagree with A**S some wearing epaulets of ie: AO that don't reflect that level of training..
OFA is a Occupation FA
After all CERT III is a PTO
CERT 4 is a Basic Ambulance Officer and so forth..
After all if a incident happens and you are compared to a AO ie Grade III and you have not received the training to that level yet wear the tags.. You will land your self in Hot Water..
If one thing I learn't from life lessons never pretend to be something you are not. Be frank honest about your level and climb the ladder of rank by learning, qualifying and becoming competent in the field. Not by being a cowboy or pretentious prick.
So many of the people I thought would change A**S have left. So obviously easy to move people on then change for the better.
