Try Border Patrol. With you being an EMT already they might pay for Paramedic training. Plus pay is not bad. Work for them, get free education, and as young as you are take full retirement in 20 years then go out and get a second retirement from another career.

I thought to work fed LE you had to have a Bachelor's degree? But I'll look into it. I'd still rather work EMS, but I figure I'll look at other options too :)

No degree required. Some of the young emt's here just tested. They realized they could get good pay benefits and retirement. Maintain and even advance their EMS education then retire and go back to working on an ambulance.

This has been the fastest year of my life. :( Wish I could slow it down just a little bit.

Second that. Just yesterday I was making a list of everything I wanted to do this summer. Well, today I look at it and realize summer is over and I have done like 5% of the stuff on there. :-( We have already had our first light frost. :-(

The only good thing about coming to the end of another year is that skiing starts up soon. :)

Hmm... I wanna be an EMT, yet I've applied for both the fire academy and police academy in different areas. Meh, they're both as related to EMS as the other.

Hehehe... I've been entertaining the idea of becoming a cop just because it would be amusing. I love crazy people, driving, and guns so why not?

That's almost exactly my reasoning for considering it :p And not having to bother with a CCW anymore :)

I'm a nerd. I found a massive multiplayer scrabble game online and I'm kinda getting addicted to it.

And been researching more on CBP... The BORSTAR team sounds incredibly fun :)

Just bought a new RPG game...well not really new, but new to me since I havne't played it before. Sat down on my first day off in 5 days and although I'm exhausted, just realized it 3 a.m. I think it's time to hit the save point and go to bed.

Brown has given up and no longer cares because he is too burnt out and jaded

Medivac landing assured, changing local traffic and 1200, good day
