    the 100% directionless thread

    Harbor Freight has code readers forn $50 and less, that will actually tell you what is up. Or, you can "rent" the tool from AutoZone for free.

    Working outside of EMS, should I continue to hold onto my EMT certification?

    Check with your local hospitals, especially the teaching ones, as well as any aeromedical services in your area. I am a bit of a training nut, and can tell you from personal experience that all the necessary CEUs you may want or need can be had for little to no cost to you* *there are some...

    Shooting Prep.

    This is important. But another thing to consider when it comes to busses is that you're figuring that you have an MCI, right? Each EMS region in TN (And this is if I remember correctly. I know for a fact it applies to Region 2) has an AMBUS. Essentially it is a classic schoolboys that has been...

    Pilot Licenses and Becoming a Flight Medic

    As a fellow Tennesseean, this only applies to the 4 major metropolitan areas. Outside of those areas, you maybe can fly and be a medic, but the chances of chewing gum are then related to your access to a teethbrush,...

    Why do people hate on LA County protocols?

    I'm 100% certain that if I am calling medical control that I want an MD on the other end of the line. I won't even allow a nurse to relay the orders, I have to speak with the MD directly. And should I ever be a supervisor, I'm 100% sure I wouldn't be comfortable acting as medical control. That's...

    international student advice

    As a further edit, I did find my old account while looking for where I saw Mr. Brown in the past using the search bar. Yay! I can chat now. Anyways, I was a little off. Apparently a d-nozzle from my home state did Brown and his woman dirty, and it was very shortly after that that Brown left...

    Hunting for a job in TN

    Anyone know of any agencies hiring in East/Southeast/Middle Tennessee? I've had some rather bad luck with getting laid off in the past, so I have plenty of employment history, but it seems when I find a job that I think is going to last and pay well, I get laid off. I really want to break the...

    Preparations in your house

    Yes, that is R. Lee Ermy there. However, for my disaster supplies I have a whole different approach. I have 4 horses, a covered wagon, and food and water supplies to last me a good long while. (I'm not kidding about the horses either) Being in the mountains of the south, I do have several...
