In NY you have to be 18 to take the State written exam, so in theory you could start your EMT class the day you turn 17, and take the practicals, but you can't finish until you're 18. Most people I know try to time it so that they turn 18 right around the end of class so they don't loose their...

My better half may become Chief in the near future (long story) if so, and you still have spots - we may be there. :) I'll keep you posted.

Does that include your hands-on? That could be the missing 15 hours.

Awww, they like me! They really really like me! I just got super busy with work - was commuting back and forth to Boston for a few weeks, broke my foot, now things are starting to slow down a bit. :)

How can a statement like that NOT be offensive? Relax yourself, with 1/2 a second of patience you can understand what he wrote. If not, maybe you need to take up some context reading classes or the like.

These are the stats my county has up for last year: My service is up to #600 (ambulance only). Last year we ended with 2,700.

If you didn't see my other post, talk to Nat and I'll help hook you up with CVAC's program. :)
