Hello all, I signed up here a looong time ago when my dream of EMS first started. I checked all of my threads from back then and I couldn't help but to laugh. My last log-on date was August 28th 2008, the day I signed up for the Navy. So now here I am a Corpsman working at a Naval...

HN here up at Naval Hospital Bremerton

Ahhh humility and empathy. Soooo important. I can't believe I left that out.

Hello everybody. So in my speech class we get to do a 5-7 minute speech on a topic of our choice. I decided to do mine on what makes a good paramedic, that is, what qualities they need to have. So, what 4 or 5 things do you think a Paramedic needs to be good? There are many I think that...

Hey guys once again. Ok. Well I asked you guys about my major a couple of weeks ago and I decided that I am just going to get a Nursing Degree and transfer over. At my school you need the General AA degree as well as the Nursing Program degree and I should finish my general AA within...

Hey guys, I know I have asked you educational questions before and you have all always been able to point me in the right direction. Basically as of right now I am 25 credits away from getting my General AA and plan on going to a 4 year this time next year. I want to go to Central...

Hey guys. I read a couple months back that there were some plans to start making drivers licenses with passports built into them. I think since then that plan fell through. But then I got to thinking about it, wouldn't it make the job a lot easier if they stored medical information inside...

lol. No offense guy but if I had to choose one MOS in the Army out of all 150 to not trust, it would be a recruiter. lol^_^. At least I know mine was full of :censored::censored::censored::censored:. And the reason I wouldn't join isn't because of having trouble getting a contract, its...

Yeah I know that is the whole point of going to MEPs to sign the contract. I have been reconsidering really and my parents are really against me doing this. I think I might just get my EMT-P and maybe a few years down the road join the Reserves. I really want to be a soldier but I'm putting...

Well MEPs was both better and worse than I expected. The Hotel was really nice and everybody treated me well. Also the other recruits weren't the typical 17 and 18 year old screw offs I was told I would be tagging along with. Most every person there was mature and behaved well. MEPs...

I am fairly sure that females cannot be PJ's. Almost positive. Either way, I'm going Army 68W - Combat Medic. You should look into it.

Well guys, I talked to the NCOIC at my recruiter's office because apparently the 68W MOS is closed right now.:rolleyes:. Anyway this guy is a First Sergeant who was a 68Q - Pharmacy Specialist called someone high up at MEPs to open it up for me and they can now get 68W w/ Airborne into my...

Well, it never killed anybody to cover the same lifesaving topics twice. Oh right, it's probably SAVED a few people. lol. I have no problem doing something twice.

I understand the difference between the Civilian and Military qualifications. However I'm just curious how a potential employer would look at Military experience as an EMT-B vs. civilian experience as an EMT-B? Also, my recruiter doesn't have a copy of my ASVAB scores I took my Junior year...

Is anybody out there a 68-Whiskey? I'm looking for some advice here other than what the rectruiters feed to me.
