  Good morning all! This is to remind everyone that those who work at headquarters are an extension of me.

If you are confused about how to complete these reports, check the policy and procedure manual on the USTASC app., speak to a field supervisor, or call us at headquarters. 2. Callouts are becoming excessive. A call out for a non-medical emergency or issue is not acceptable. If you call out for a medically related reason you must provide a d...
