What kind of medical training do Frank and Joe have?

[Hardy Boys UB Fan]

Anyone know of any good ambulance calls that Frank and Joe can go on as a cover for my story that I'm writing?

[JoeHardyRocks]

Uh, a car crash, a burning building, a  convienience store hold up perhaps

That might work . . .

"Where are you two off to?" asked Mrs. Hardy.

"Ah, a car crash," blurted Joe.

"A burning building," Frank said at the same time.

"Ah, yeah, what Frank means is we're going to a convenience store hold-up."

The brothers looked awkwardly at each wishing they'd thought-up a cover story in advance.

"Fine, but be careful, dear," said their mother.

Good one. But, it's for their mission for ATAC. (Why does ATAC call them missions and not cases?)

[SDLagent]

Because "cases" are so yesterday. "Missions" are cool and hip and so 21st century. The UB are all about 21st century. Same with "Trudy". That's hip.

But saying "cases" is cooler!

[MacGyver]

Well, "mission" also implies a certain directive that Frank and Joe are to accomplish. If it's just a "case" it's more open-ended. With ATAC, I think they want to be more direct and maintain some control on exactly what things Frank and Joe are to do (and conversely, what things they are not to do.)
     But SDLAgent covered the real-world marketing reasons.

Actually, I was just joking around. Your explanation makes a lot more sense.

What things can they not do?

LOL. Also, because the word "hip" is so 21st century.

"Hip" is groovy.

"Hip" is groovy.

Like, totally, dude.

Whatever that means . . .

It's hippie talk. I do a great hippie imitation, especially when I have my hair down.
