@IAfire the letter G is the most mispronounced letter in the nato phonetic alphabet on wildland fires and its typically as you spelled it Gulf. If you notice on the nimsiap we have for the past several years added the nato phonetic spelling for all divisions on the 204 because well we got some great made up ones out there. Rant over. Carry on.

When I go out as line medic I always put EMPF or FEMP on all 4 corners just so when driving the line folks can wave me down for any medical needs

I’m LG and always put my STEN # on the front windshield, and all apparatus windshields, always seems DIVs like it?!?
Being a DIV trainee, I would like to see it as well!
Further, why not have it if it helps with visuals and communication?
PS, Staples, Office Depot have the chalk pens for around $9

I’ve been in the business for 33 years. Worked state for 12 years and now im.local government. All ST s are supposed to have it. What typically happens is with a local government ST. You have different agencies. (To be honest holds another issue in itself. Union contracts etc) it comes down to leadership doing it looking professional and having for a reason. Accountability. Im at the end of the road. We need to go back to old school. Kick ass stop worrying about feelings and do your job. Mark your windshield we did it 34 years ago. Sorry for the rant.
