So, rather than complain about it, if it sounds so good, why not sign up?

And no, I am not a "volly".

The complaint is that you vollies strut around like you are doing the world a favor by staying sober when you fight a fire or respond to an accident call;

AND you get monetary benenfits for "volunteering".
