    Reserve/National Guard support for maintaining NREMT certification

    My unit holds 68W sustainment classes every month, and our senior NCOs ensure that everyone meets recert standards every year. Most other units do not do this. We always have last minute additions to our classes from other units.

    the 100% directionless thread

    Tonight, we celebrated the completion of my bachelors degree with 22 friends at a local Mexican restaurant. Things went downhill when I was handed a random shot of some sort of liquor (not sure it wasn't gas), followed by another and another and another. So I returned the favor by buying the...

    Funny Things We Say To Make Our Patients Feel Better

    I was working in the lab over the weekend and we always get a few people who are scared to death of needles. My squad leader told one of them that I was his best bet for a good stick since I wasn't drunk any more :wacko:

    Exercise Regimen

    Sounds like a good combination to me. The group I work out with is using Crossfit Football (http://www.crossfitfootball.com/) as our base, then following it with alternating abs and strength/endurance exercises. Additionally, I run 4-6 miles every other day. This regimen has made my PT tests...

    did you record lectures?

    I recorded specific lectures because I had one instructor who hated power point yet he talked up a storm and drew all over the boards. The recordings helped me keep up when my writing hand cramped up.

    any 68w doing volunteer/part time EMT work?

    I've been considering volunteering at our local rescue squad, but it's hard to find the time between work, school, and family. It would be nice to use some of my skills other than the health clinic related ones.

    Just got back from EFMB.

    I complain because I want my cake and I want to eat it, too. I plan to attend PA school, but I also have some other things I would like to accomplish. Combat_Medic, how long do you have to wait before you can make another attempt?

    Just got back from EFMB.

    Unfortunately, my unit refuses to send anyone to get their EFMB. In fact, we can't get any schools unless they directly impact the unit's mission. So, my unit will bend over backwards to help me get into PA school because they desperately need PAs, but I can't go for my EFMB, flight medic, etc. lol

    This is the life: Tornado weather blowing through, I can hear the neighbor's baby crying over the sound of the thunder (window is open), and I have a boat load of homework to do.
