~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J-HAT.....It's a concept we came up with when San Diego hosted Superbowl. The idea is, you form an inter-disciplinary team that moves inside a large venue, evaluating hazards, and mitigating them if possible. Your team members all get trained in each other's roles. You have a hazmat guy, a bomb tech, a SWAT officer, and a K-9 cop. The Bomb tech and/or the hazmat member needs to be a tactically trained paramedic too. You carry equipment and just sort of wander around, looking for stuff. We used J-HAT for Superbowl, Mardi-Gras, Street Scene, and some other big crowd things. This week (when I'm off shift away from the copter) I'm spending my between days at the US Open following the golfers around. Since I don't golf, I'm bored silly but it's still overtime, walking around outdoors, and some fairly challenging issues come up. (It would have been very bad JuJu to take pictures when we were right in there. The last thing I want is the PGA wanting me fired)

sounds like a cool gig to get for some OT.
did you get to see anyone famous playing golf? (i'm not into golf at all but i might recognize a few famous golfers)
Yeah---all the major players. We're supposed to follow the crowds and the biggest crowd is around the top players. Not bad for a municipal golf course
They should hire you out to the Olympics ;)
Dunno how you feel about going to China tho.
I'd go....Be kind of hard to blend into the crowd, though. Maybe I'll go just for the food
Is JHAT the guys that ride around on the bikes during street scene? I heard they were STAR. Is it the same?
