How important is it. Nothing changes if you expire and dont refresh until a later time.

True but I would like to keep it active anyways, also I'm trying to join Hatzolah but no luck so far

Apparently I gotta get married first  ::)

All really depends where.

If its Boro Park, get in line. Long waiting list and they take 5 or so new guys every 18 months. Flatbush, only if you're available between 7-9am. Williamsburg, good luck. They just took in 10 new guys. Anywhere else shouldnt be an issue.

With Hatzolah its always the back door that is open. i.e. outlying neighborhoods that need day coverage and then after a few years you can get into your home neighborhood.

I know the right people (my father actually brought ALS to Hatzolah) but without being married it's basically impossible I was told

I live in Flatbush and applied over a year ago, I also work in the 5 towns but have not applied there yet.
People keep telling me to apply to Canarsie but I really am not that close and not really available during the day enough

Im waiting for my flatbush application. I was told its in the mail. 22 years now. Maybe that mailman stole it. His route wasnt that far from my house. My house used to be covered by Flatbush back in those days.
7-9A.M.?
Surprise surprise. Worst response time in flatbush is between those hours.
And Monsey is worse from what I hear...
Yup

Lakewood used to be bad too but they are growing ao quickly theyve basically been forced to take people in at a quicker pace.

Yes for some reason most hatzloahs say they don;t need members - the arrogance...

And check out this screenshot I captured lol!

Having been a member I can say there is some elitism. I wouldnt say arrogance, that may be a personal trait which has nothing to so with the status of ones membership in the organization.  Most members are real tzadikim. Try giving up your sleep for one night trying to save someones life and then work a full day the next day. Try doing mouth to mouth resuscitation on a 3 month old baby who is dead in your arms and then carrying that taste in your mouth for the rest of your life. Dont judge. Its a stressful, sometimes thankless, job.

wait Wait wait, I'm not talking about the majority of members which are big tzaidikim, they have no say unfortunately in taking new members in policies etc. That in no way was regarding them, it's about the people at the top.

I got a bridge for sale too.

There are rhymes and reasons, for sure. But The man has a point. There is no reason to be arrogant. One of the people at the top Z"L told us at a meeting..."Hatzolah is not a democracy. Its a dictatorship." And he ran his neighborhood that way and it ran superbly. When you claim to be open and democratic and run it like a dictatorship, thats when the issues start.

Yes but when you really don't have enough coverage and there are people waiting to help its really not right to not let them in because they are not married
When I applied my job at the time would have literally made me available almost the entire day on the outskirts of Flatbush where response times are not great

Other than the inability to work or volunteer. You can refresh anytime even if expired.
Is that true in NJ too?
