I've asked about SAR careers in the civilian world before on here. Now I have another question... I've wanted to become an AST for the USCG but my red/green color def is whats keeping me from doing it.
So I was wondering if any flight medic on the board could give me an overview of a day in their shoes. I was wondering if the AST rate is close to the flight medics career? Do you guys ever leave the chopper and look for the patient, or propel down if the chopper can't land? Things along those lines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm a college student, i have my EMT, I'm a park ranger and will be joing the coasties as a DC. I plan on finishing my bio degree and getting my medics.
