quote:

MANILA, Philippines — While he presented no data to back his claim, Defense Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr. on Monday said that mental health problems can be “cured” through the training provided under the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) program.

Galvez, who cited his experience as an educator, said the “experiential” learnings from the ROTC program can help improve the “frustration tolerance” of students as compared to the National Service Training Program.

“They’ll learn survival instincts there. The so-called mental health problem can be cured, because the people’s frustration tolerance will increase,” he said during a Senate committee hearing on the proposed revival of mandatory ROTC in the country.

Galvez pointed out that the training under the ROTC program can expose them to “worse” experiences.

“They will acquire experiences that will make them think, ‘Why am I sulking over this when other people have it worse? Meaning, these mental problems can be cured,” he further argued.

Recalling his stint as a combat leader, Galvez also noted that its soldiers are not just trained to become mentors and leaders but also counselors.

“I was exposed. Many of us had PTSD but because we were able to provide counseling to them, these people were changed.,” he added.

Prescott Valley firefighters are stealing, hiding fake 'firehouse dog' from each other, apparently
The firehouse dog is about as real as Zoe's pet rock, Rocco, on "Sesame Street." And, just like Elmo, this dog is leaving us feeling gaslit.

Editor's Note: This story is brought to you by The Herd, 12 News' digital team. And as a group of mostly Millennials, we like to have fun on the internet because that's where we live.

There's a 16-year-old tradition at an Arizona fire department that involves a dalmatian.

Well, sort of.

The dalmatian is about as real as Zoe's pet rock, Rocco, on "Sesame Street." And, just like Elmo, this dog is leaving us feeling gaslit.

RELATED: Here's exactly why Elmo is beefing with a pet rock, because you definitely need an explanation

The "dog," named Pepper the Firehouse Dog, was pictured on Central Arizona Fire and Medical's Facebook page in the middle seat of a vehicle.

Vehicles seem to be where Pepper spends most of her time, as the tradition at the fire department involves firefighters stealing her from her home at Station 61 and hiding her from their fellow crew members.

To recap: firefighters at Central Arizona Fire and Medical have been stealing and hiding a large stuffed dog from each other for 16 years.

The Prescott Valley Police Department commented on the post saying that their K9s have requested a playdate with Pepper. The firefighters said Pepper would be honored.

There are a few reasons this is perplexing:

First off, K9s can hardly request anything. They can't speak in human tongues.

Secondly, even if the police department's dogs were magical and could talk, there is no way for Pepper to be honored, because Pepper is a stuffed dog.

Lastly, even if the K9s and Pepper did have a meetup, there is no way they would be able to play together. Pepper is a toy and would be used as such by the police dogs. Pepper isn't alive.

I finally know how Elmo feels, and I don't like it.

It's from William Langewiesche's American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center, which the NYT calls critically acclaimed in this piece presenting a journalists arguments that they could not have stolen those jeans because the Gap was 200 yards away and that any jeans probably fell in from another jeans store directly above it.

idc if firefighters loot that should be counted as part of their pay just make sure you take an extra person as the designated looter so the fire fighters can get busy rescuing people rather than casing the joint

All the info you want is here in New York's Worst Responders available in a free pdf

quote:

Through its pointless rivalries and competition for city dollars, the New York Police Department allowed hundreds of firefighters to die in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Cops looted retail shops at Ground Zero, violently suppressed protests by firefighters trying to recover the bodies of their dead friends, and arrested multiple fire department union leaders in retaliation. The NYPD spent the next decade-plus building an intelligence apparatus with more legal powers than the FBI. Cops have systematically scammed the government in doctor-aided plots to secure lucrative disability pensions and federal payouts, lying about 9/11-related PTSD and “fear of crowds” while selling cannolis in Little Italy at the Feast of San Gennaro. Authorities and the media have made sure that the errant heroism of New York’s Finest can never been forgotten, but stories of their misdeeds and incompetence have fallen into a memory hole as deep as a billion-dollar memorial pool. 68 pp. 2021.
