I see your point also but saying the words to a patient 'you might die' surely you don't agree with?

'you don't need to try and school me on how it works'- you could do with learning some manners first; I didn't merely say it was a hobby- I was referring to those who don't join to 'soldier', those who don't join for the OTHER reasons I listed included...THAT is what would make it more of a...

Yes 8 years in a unit that was overseas back to back on training, then deployments non stop with voluntary short-notice deployments in-between and attachments to overseas counterparts, then into the contracting world...just because this line of work is beyond the realm of what you have...

ignorant of what? i guess spending the past 15 years deployed for 80% of it makes me very naive in what the military does and how it operates...but you're right being a weekend warrior is where its at...

I can see only 4 logical reasons to joining the military: 1- to fight (camouflage clothing is for fighting, not walking around home countries to impress people) 2- GI Bill and benefits 3- Life experience with steady paycheck 4- A career where you're guaranteed some sort of promotion/pay increase...

Amazing when you put target, costco, food service and the military all in one big bag together lol

LA Police gear.com they have all sizes plus the factory un-hemmed ones so you can mate them whatever size you like

Grow a pair of balls and speak up or you'll get walked over your whole life.

The UK is getting more and more strict on everything limiting the paramedics. A friend working for the NHS said they're even talking about the idea of taking ET intubation out of their ALS protocols

1- I've never heard of any offshore company paying for safety quals for employees (normally you are considered a self employed contractor and just like your acls/phtls you're expected to come with all course certs in-date) 2- Degrees etc look good on resume', but clients want experience and...

I'd want to clear out my savings and max out loans, credit cards and everything and travel the world over, and over and over...life is too short sometimes NB- not really do any job at all

the best summarisation of the topic ive seen in the media:

so what is it received for? the next tour...

I agree...look at the military. 1 tour of iraq- global war on terror medal, national defense medal, iraq campaign medal....thats 3 medals for ONE tour and there is more attachments and crap to go with it...

ah well wouldnt worry about it. surprised theyre making you wear the boots they want, might aswell be in the military :S

shorter boots are going to be more comfortable and easier to get on/off. also remember when you get them to spend a few weeks wearing them for normal chores like shopping etc to help break them in, nothing worse than a stiff pair of boots when u have to hustle

@ViolynEMT congrats on the job, now play a happy tune on your fiddle :)

It is probably just the schedule, best not to dwell on it if you truly think you did nothing negative. For eg: 1- EMT guy 'A' is available from friday to monday 2- EMT guy identical in skill level and experience is available 7 days a week even though a P/T position was all that was offered Who...

agree here, if you were >30 and single and didn't own your own home, then this would be a good experience purely for experience sake. Cost of London is expensive, but that shouldn't scare anyone off unless you're in debt...I have plenty of friends living in London and they love it...personally I...

For those hard to reach spots lol
