we were all young once....

even officers were once LCPs ;)

ever wondered why..

is Public Duty called Public Duty?

alright, half of you are there are probably wondering "huh? what stupid question is this? its like asking why is an apple called an apple -.-".

wellll, its not quite the same ;)

du·ty

   [doo-tee, dyoo-] Show IPA

–noun, plural -ties.

1.

something that one is expected or required to do by moral or legal obligation.

Certainly, we have no legal obligations to perform Public Duties. No one is gonna charge us if we refuse to go for a duty, and we are definitely not going to jail for it.

But what about our moral obligations?

Public Duty is, well, a duty to the public. For a start, we rely heavily on the public's donations to keep the organization. Without their financial support, there will be no R.O.D events, no OCIPs, no camps, no equipments, etc etc.

More importantly, as a First Aider it is our duty to serve the public, to ensure that our skills are put to good use (if necessary). First Aid is not just a skill that affects us on a personal level (like riding a bicycle, for example). It is a skill that is for the greater good, for the Service of Mankind.

So the next time you are asked to go for a duty, give this a thought ;)
