Anyone here ever consider hiking the Appalachian Trail?

As I fairly avid backpacker I have considered it, but honestly, I just don't love hiking the Appalachians, too overgrown...and buggy...Yuck!

I am thinking about doing the colorado trail though.

Damn, 5 minutes before I was going to leave and I get a tasker that has to be completed today. The leadership knew about this yesterday, but they have to wait until I'm about to leave to have me do it. 13 hour day today.....

I'm leaving.

It is. A new rotation took over there this summer.

Anyone know anything about workman's comp claims? My wrist still hurts from the fall I took 5 weeks ago in a foot chase. Fingers are better but the blade of the hand by the wrist hurts and burns if I put any weight on it.

I am considering suing the idiot I chased but I don't know if he has any $. I have not missed work since my regualr duty involves little more than sitting behind a desk so I don't know if I would even get anything just for having been in pain for over a month.

Department Dr finally agreed to do an x-ray and found that nothing is broken. I am schedualed to see an orthopedist after the New Year if it still hurts. I have a feeling I may have ripped part of the muscle.

That stinks.

I know just a tiny bit about wormans comp from the little bit of HR work I have had to do, but I have no idea how that might relate to law enforcement. It seems that you all would be covered under some sort of different system, given the hazards in your line of work.

Normally all Workers comp will do is cover doctors bills and compensate some for time off due to injury. I am not aware of any sort of compensation for OTJ pain, but their might be some. It should help cover some of the doctors bills though, probably including copays.

Otherwise, see post above regarding cattle prods, stun guns and rubber bullets for alternatives.

Given that you couldn't locate your own home country on a map, your inability to locate mine isn't saying very much...
