Definitely for the ladies....especially when we wear our 962s...automatic panty droppers. No but seriously, its a job..it pays the bills mostly. Im way past the days of thinking its a "calling" and that we are "heroes". I don't even advertise that I work in EMS, when people ask what I do I just...

Forget goggles. Go on Oakley SI and get a pair of glasses with clear lenses.
