Kempo,

Sorry lol. I remember people saying that and I'd always laugh to myself about SFO being "Northern" Cali, but I spent 4 years in Humboldt Bay at the CG Air Station. THAT'S north to me. lol. Take care.

BLS,

I am not employed in EMS but about to start my EMT-B course next week. I'm looking to snag a spot at AtlantiCare in EHT hopefully. But I don't know the drill as far as employment yet. I've got my medic buds looking out for me though. I was a flight mechanic at the CG Air Station in Pomona at the FAA Tech Center.

Hmm. I missed this reply. I am a medic up here for AtlantiCare now. PM me if you are still on here.

That really sucks. You will just be learning stuff again. I would suggest finding a longer Paramedic course and possibly remaining as a B for a while to get some more field experience under your belt.

Well, when i first though about emt and paramedic as a career and stuff, i was around 15. Now i am 18 and i know i want to do something with helping ppl, thats all i want. and i am sure it is emt now. So here is my plan, i am in high school right now do to a Technicality of sorts and i will be joining a local emt explorers unit, which do lessons and ride alongs for us intrested in the field. So i hope tihs will give me some insight to the field so i can decide if i want to keep moving or not. Then at january i will start college with attending first reponder and cpr training, which will take me to may or june to finish. After that, i plan to take the emt-b course there during the summer semseter and hopefully finish in August. Then starting in the fall term, right after my emt-b cert, i can get in to the paramedic program and finsh that in the following may and when i am all done with this i should be 20 y/o.

is there any advice any of you wish to add?

Go to college BEFORE medic school, unless it is a degree in paramedicine or similar.
