Lifeline was a para-medic with the Seattle Fire Department for five years before he discovered that EMS (Emergency Medical Service) personnel who were disabled while giving aid off-duty were not eligible for pensions. In his mind, rescue personnel were never off-duty. He decided to make his status permanent by enlisting in the army as a corpsman.

“Elite units always take care of their own. The Action Force is no exception. The troops have to know that if something really heavy comes down on them and they´re in no condition to walk out of the mess, somebody is going to have the heart to wade in and extricate them. That somebody is Lifeline.”
