Old thread, but dang, it's nice to see that there are other infantrymen on here. I enlisted May 2001 and ETSd May 2015. 11B30 Mostly Co B, 2/502, 101st, 2001-2005 (also 1/187 inf): weapons squad AG (ya'll know this job suuucks), 240 gunner/team leader, rifleman, and grenadier Oregon Army...

I'm assuming you were referring to my post. I apologize. I read it and it does appear to be on the negative side. I was meaning that it's crazy how limiting California makes basically anything, and I'm further intrigued why so many people rush into those scenarios. The realistic side of me...

I don't know why people would want to return to California. I'll just assume that people who live in California do it because they need to. I'm always impressed by the high numbers of restrictions placed upon Californians and their various industries. But, it looks like once one is all set up...

Damn, dude. I can't directly relate, but I will tell you that I know this is a hard situation. I'm a simple middle school science teacher, and I'm struggling with the reality that my online students are getting a completely different (read: much less adequate) education than my face-to-face...

I agree with that, because wilderness medicine, as a practice, includes so much. I will admit that in my bubble of the RAT environment we generally had great equipment and had plenty of it. Our pre-callout inspections were brief, but if we didn't have something that we potentially needed, we...

#13 should rarely present itself, if you're doing the job correctly. Although, life happens and I can imagine that being pretty awful.

I don't use discord, but I can share my phone number and you can call or text. Will that work for you? I can also give you my email, or I can set up a Zoom or Google Meet if that works. Or, I can even download the discord thing, but I don't know much about it.

Most of the "EMT" jobs that are related to trail guiding and similar activities are first and foremost, not primarily EMTs. This is something Tigger mentioned and he is correct here. In fact, most of these jobs are temporary summer opportunities where EMT-qualified individuals choose to work...

Hey, I am definitely new to the forum. I'll answer any questions you have, but I'll start by saying that the RAT team is a specialized component of the Clackamas County EMS system, and very, very few agencies offer that service at the private level. I don't know of any others that do what the...

I know this is a fairly old reply, but I just joined today so I can chime in here in case a future reader comes across this thread. The RAT team is NOT medic only. It has a preference for medics, but basics and intermediates work it, too. I was a basic on the RAT team, which allowed me to do...

I wouldn't ever worry about writing PCRs, since it's something your employer should help you with when you get hired on somewhere. Good luck!

I've been looking for an online community to join for the last few days, and this seems to be the most active and relevant one I've found. I am not currently certified as an EMT. I worked as an EMT-B in Oregon for American Medical Response for almost 8 years. I worked in just about every...
