Explosive Countermeasures International Response
7yAlas, Memphis, no idea what happens out there. It may be something in the BBQ. It is true, once fully manned up the only opportunity for overtime is conducting off site training with local PD, TSA, Military bases. And since we require at least 2 days a month getting on someone else kit, away from the site it should be considered easy and fun OT. Our teams elsewhere love getting together with other agencies. I was, am at a loss as to why the Memphis teams did not want to train with outside agencies? I am just not willing to pay OT for onsite training that is also conducted during operations. And the pay was increased to equate to the money that was being made when down a team and everyone was in overtime. Sorry you were so unhappy. I did address all issues called to my attention, which is why everyone got a pay raise when we got fully manned.
