Full time on an Ambulance company. Second job at a stand-by EMS company. Third job as an EMT skills instructor up at my college.

Second job i got because I like doing stand-by events. Third job i got because my EMT instructor called me after I graduated and told me that I was getting the EMS student award for the 2010-2011 school year, and highly recommended that I should become a skills instructor.

When I was an EMT

...when pterodactyls flew the skies, I was 24 on/24 off and one Kelly day every two weeks (Thursdays) on active USAF duty as a firefighter (Crash Rescueman if you please). I worked a civilian ambulance job, eight hours a day, on my off weekdays.
Later, when I was a nursing student, for a while I was that, plus traditional (weekend warrior) Air Guard (Med Tech) and, for about four months, worked about six or seven of eight hour shifts a month on an IFT EMT ambulance / medivan service.
I continued with the weekend Guard (as an officer) while working at the jail; I saw my family one weekend a month for ten years, except a short period when I used vacation time to take off every other weekend, and during DESERT STORM stateside deployment (saw them more than during my supervisor days as a RN).

[medicnick83]

I am a IT guy by profession (day job) and spend the rest of my time (weekends, some night shifts) as a volunteer EMT-B.

I generally volunteer with the government services (Metro EMS) but also work with the private services (now and again) Netcare 911.

Netcare 911 is very quiet so I don't like to spend too much time with them, if I am going to work, I'd rather goto Metro EMS because those 12 hour shifts I get insanely busy!

Currently waiting on Metro EMS to give me driving authorization so I can drive the ambulances (I have to work as a 2nd or 3rd now)
