Surefire 6p or of you want something a little smaller get the eb1.

Okay great that helps thanks. I'm in Southern California. Went on the CECBEMS website and can't find anything regarding CLS but the refresher course is on there so I'm just going to go ahead and take it.

Resurrecting this thread to ask a separate question instead of starting a whole new thread. I tried calling my local college but they are closed. So, I took my EMT-B class Spring 2014 and I've been certified since September 2014. I had to work some issues out with my license and I finally...

Thanks gentlemen. Spoke with some medics yesterday.. A lot of units are deploying and but no line units... Besides JSOC of course.. But a good suggestion i received was that itll be easier to deploy as a medic rather than a grunt.. Im going to see where it goes. Was also told that i cant wait...

Hello all. So my question is for folks who have experience in any MOS in the medical field besides 68W in the national guard. Right now im currently NREMT-B, state, and county certified but have zero experience in patient care (i finished in may and had to work some issues out before i can...

Took the NREMT yesterday at 5:00 P.M. and found out I passed this morning when I checked at 7:00 A.M. Test ended @ question 70 and I had a little grin on my face when it ended there because that seems to be the lucky number. I was a little nervous because my class ended over 3 months ago but...

That's why the Army invented it! The medics in my company use duct tape as well (one was with the 2nd ranger battalion for 5 years and is very experienced). They also use tape with 3M adhesive that works pretty well, but duct tape works better...

Aw man this sucks I missed it. I didn't receive the email about the webinar until this morning... Clicked on it to see what time it was happening and there is just a black screen loading. Came here to see if I could find info on when its starting and found this.

The CAT WILL degrade since it has plastic components. The SOFTT being made of aluminum, is more durable from the sun for obvious reasons. I've been issued both but the CAT is the most widely issued TQ in the DoD. I've met many medics who swear by them and the fact you can manipulate it one...

Read through the thread and I agree that the rubber IV TQ for EDC isn't practical and I wouldn't bet my life on it. The Swat-t and a triangular bandage are both good suggestions. Another option might be the Tk4 TQ. It isn't as effective as a CAT or SOFT-W, but is definitely more effective than...

Hello, Just wondering if anyone here has used this website before? http://www.innerbody.com/ I'm not taking A&P until next year and am just beginning biology. But I've been studying on this website to get ahead and really like the interactive visual learning style. I...

Just bumping this thread to see if there is a update. I'm not working yet, but hopefully will be come summer time. I was giving this some thought and wondering if anyone has worn any electronic hearing protection? I have a nice pair that I use for shooting and am considering using them if...

Nice :P

I don't have a lot of experience, but I do know how to take a BP and have since 2010. I'll throw in my 2 cents for whatever it's worth. I'm relatively lean and can actually see my skin slightly move up when my heart beats and blood perfuses the brachial artery. (Side note, how would I...

Hey, that DL question person is me :P I bought a pair from oakley si. I don't have any experience in EMS, but have been a infantryman in the national guard and a few guys in my unit have sworn by oakley boots. I did some research and found some negative reviews about the sole coming lose...

Thanks for the advice. Will be walking into court once I have a little cash to pay and then get on a payment plan and hopefully get my license back by convincing the judge I'm not a :censored::censored::censored::censored: bag, I'm just poor haha. No seriously though, I've met quiet a few...

My license is currently suspended for minor traffic tickets that I haven't paid.(red light and unsafe pass in bike lane on motorcycle). It's been suspended for a little over 2 years and I just haven't had the money to pay them (it's a couple thousand). I'm going to be done with my EMT-B course...

Got about 3 weeks left of the semester for this EMT course. We were required to get a physical and make sure out immunizations were up to date, but there was no drug testing. I think it's cause I'm in CA and I know a few people in my class who wouldn't have passed:cool:

I've got another question for anyone that cares to share their opinion. My question is, Where you at all "squeamish" before becoming an EMT(any level)? I wouldn't say I'm not grossed out by the human anatomy because I am... We're ugly creatures underneath skin. But I'm not squeamish per...

A lot of good responses. I appreciate you all taking the time to share with me. I think even if it wasn't mandatory to be a EMT-B ambulance running 911 calls for at least a year to qualify for the paramedic program I would probably do it anyway. Give me time to take some additional courses...
