Very good information, and it is definitely welcome. I have already decided that I am not doing anything for a while after I get my medic other than work EMS. I will be staying with EMS full-time regardless of anything else that I do. As far as the experience goes, correct me if I am wrong, but...

I have seriously considered trying the PJ route several times. I have talked with recruiters and weighed all of my options. Like you said, if I was single, I would go for it. I cant justify being away from my wife for that long though. I want this training for my EMS carrier as well. Because I...

Haha, yeah our other thread has stayed alive for a while now. Thankfully we both stayed alive in the class as well! Sounds like you would have a pretty good opportunity there with your department since you are already a sworn officer and on the payroll. I have not been through BLET so it will be...

Same issue here. I think the closest one I can get in will be on the 16th of Jan. I'm going to take a break for Christmas and then start studying again after New Years.

So, I finished my paramedic course with a lot of encouragement from folks here on the board. I have another question now for anyone who has experience with this topic. Has anyone here been through the 200 hour Tactical Emergency Medical Specialist program? I have looked at several tactical medic...

Thanks for the info! That is a very good write up. I am glad to see that your Commander has held up to the trails.

Thanks for the "advice from all you medics" out there. Today I passed my final and I am officially a paramedic graduate! :wings: I feel like a huge load has been taken off of my shoulders. I work 24-72s and I have no idea what I am going to do with my time! I feel like I am retired! I will be...

I've been looking for a warm inner fleece for a good price. Is this the same one that is being talked about? http://www.desertdeucesurplus.com/servlet/the-1045/TRU-dsh-SPEC-Gen-III-Level/Detail

I just picked up your thread. Nice build on the Commander. I am thinking of buying my wife a Commander but I have been a little wary as to the reliability of them. I have owned several XJs and she is currently driving a 2000 XJ right now. If the Commander is as reliable a they have been I would...

Finished all my clinical time this week and passed scope of practice scenarios today! I take the final on Tuesday and then its all over!

Wow, you have definitely been busy. I havnt had a day off but it sounds like you have had a lot more going on. Its funny that your class ended up with the same amount of people at graduation as ours did, and we started out with so MANY. I think a few factors came into to play with that. For one...

Get a year under your belt and go for it. It has been a long class but I am very glad I went for it. Wouldnt change it for anything.

By the way Onetime, how many did your class start with and how many did you end with? We started with 90 people in the class. We are finishing with just 20. Definitely not a "zero to hero" class here. They have washed out everyone that hasnt proven themselves.

Two tests, two weeks of class, and four 12 hour clinicals, then I am DONE!

He will just have to stay cold:D Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the tips folks. I will be heading out with my buddy Greg......so no doubling up in the sleeping bag.

Love the truck! I have been checking out the old military trucks and K5s on the Gov auction website. I would like to get my hands on one soon.

Congratulations! I am very jealous! I have 1 more month of class.

Good luck man!

I picked up my Chevy 1500 from a gov auction. I need to look up what branch it was serving in because it is Forest Green and was definitely used on some tight wooded trails. It has "forest pinstripes" all down the side.
