I was reading an article from the EMTSPOT and it referred to always having a specialty, something you find very interesting about medicine and learning all you can. I was curious what others would find the most interesting. I like anything that has to do with wilderness and environmental related...

It all depends on where you work I guess. National forest have rangers who do soley EMS, they are park rangers but they wear a different hat. Like rangers who just do LE or Fire. They also have rescue techs who do short hauls and high angle. National Parks have park medics too along with...

I'd start doing some body weight exercises push-ups and pull-ups etc.

Some airports security officers act as EMTS and FFs. The one by me requires you to have an EMT, FF1, FF2 and complete state police academy. Its like the public safety triad.

Depends on education and commitment. NPS,BLM and FS all hire seasonal backcountry rangers. Some of those rangers are soley rescue rangers, others do camp checks, trail stuff and wildlife monitoring. USAJOBS has a list of the openings. If you get in you could become a fulltime ranger and work on...

Do you have any equipment? Access to a gym?

I had a few questions concerning coned for my license. I don't work as an EMT anymore, i only worked as one for a few months. would that affect my ability to recert? i work as a call firefighter now. I live in MA and have my nremt. My card doesn't expire until 3-31-16. Can I do all my con ed...

Does anyone know of any good online con ed programs that I could take. I don't really care about the cost but I'd like to try and refresh my skills. Maybe if you live in MA you know of some classes? I have an NREMT-B but I ended up getting it late since MA had a big problem with the switch over...

My goal would be to get stronger. I would like to build muscle endurance and gain some size but not alot. I'm getting into rock-climbing and it would hinder me to get really big. I go pretty hard, I wait about 30 seconds until I start my next set. Is there anything else you recommend to up the...

Most of my workouts are done with four sets of eight reps. I weigh 155. What do you mean by big 3/4 numbers up? I dropped my barbell curl from my biceps since I got a pair of 30 pound dumbbells. I was using 25 pounders for most of my workout. I'll drop the seated lat raise and bar overhead...

Thanks for the tip, i'll give it go. My legs never really feel like i worked on them after the workout. Hopefully i'll get that burn that comes from my other lifts. That makes sense, i've been at 220 for sometime now. I'm hoping to get more weights within the next few weeks. Right now i...

If i could put up and hold more than the 140 over my head i'd be squatting more. I'm actually the opposite, my legs are huge. I wish i could cut them smaller but i think years of hockey, rugby and all the other outdoor activities have made them that way. I don't really have any heavy leg...

Ive taken your advice and i enjoy this new workout setup!

In my orginal post I didn't specify that my chest workout was also my bicep one. I had the exercises just not the title. When you said to move chest to monday I wasn't sure where to place my bicep workout. You have it squared away with the above post. Whats your core workout?

In Worcester Ma WEMS does the tactical for worcester swat, msp stop teams and cemlec. I assume you would have to find an ambulance service for the city, probably a third service and go from there.
