This is why every unit should be equiped with the Trunk Monkey! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8avOiTUcD4Y Hey! It even helps when the police pull you over! Maybe this is the answer for the next run with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.:)

Oh, just wanted to clarify this! I know they are cross TRAINING but I was wondering how they work.

Does anyone here have any information on being a dual role Paramedic/Firefighter for the District of Columbia? Do they just ride the engines or do they staff the ambulance as well? I heard someone say that they work in rotations from the engine to ambulance, any truth in that? I have already...

Believe me, you do not want an MRE here. Atleast not after baking inside an armored vehicle in over 100 degree weather. I used to eat with the IPs, whatever they were having for thier meal. Can't do that anymore though:sad:

Well, how you get treated all depands on the unit. With that said, the medics get treated pretty well in my unit(more so than we do).

Do not label all volunteer services as awful. After all, if a volunteer/combination service can get awarded the Departmentof Health's EMS Agency of the Year for thier perticular state then I would say that they are very professional. As for the HOBBY comment, many volunteers dedicate thier...

www.indeed.com It's a pretty good job search engine.

I know they took Hextend out of our combat lifesaver bags(first aid), I'm not sure if the combat medics still carry or not.

Thanks to everyone for your input. I believe when the time comes, I will go with the traditional classes.

"That's why this amendment calls for veterans to undergo a regimen that accounts for their previous training and experience and prepares them to operate in a civilian environment." I believe that is a great idea. Create a specific program just for transitioning vets. It is also important to...

I never had a snake bite PT(knock on wood). One night at the fire station we received a phone call for a snake in someones basement. We told them to call the state police because they would gladly handle that. The homeowner replied with a snicker, "already did and they told me to call you".

How does an online program look to an employer? Would it make any difference? I mean as long as it is accredited.

WOW, we can't slip anything by you. Its called shooting to Eliminate the threat and if you want to get technical it varies by state when you can shoot. Depending on what kind of threat is presented and where you are at the time.

See look, your already thinking like a member of the military. Controlled pair, center mass and a safety round to the head.^_^

Gloria Sanchez, Otty's aunt, said her niece had been "in and out of a psychiatric ward." Where was child protective services on this one? The hospital called child services after my 3 y/o nephew fell off the bed and hit his head. Yet the delivering hospital lets the baby go home with...

I'm for concealed carry 24/7 along with the proper training. Read this article, it may change some minds. http://watertowndailytimes.com/article/20090201/NEWS03/302019939/-1/NEWS

Pennsylvania This perticular program is hosted by Harrisburg Community Collage.

Violent drunk with head trauma after crash. Two state troopers and a roll of 3in tape later and they were on the way to the ER. By the way, no need to lecture me on this one. I was with the FD and had nothing to do with it.

What do you guys think about a online paramedic program? I have read on other online discussions that they are frowned upon. The online portion will replace the classroom (lecture) only (currently 6 hours / week). Once each week students need to attend a clinical lab on campus. The hospital...

We put up a poster outside the station for volunteer recruitment. The headlines in big red letters read "VOLUNTEERS NEEDED". We had someone walk in and ask about the pay and benefits.:huh:
