I feel dirty all over. I've had to backboard almost a dozen people this tour... Glad our roads are finally clearing up
 
Vacation is over :(.

Shame is alway the hardest to wash off.

With all your progressive protocols.... They haven't done away with backboards??

We have selective imob protocols... but witg the weather we had I wound up with a bunch of people with cspine pain and lower bacl pain with hx of spinal injuries...
And two with diminished sensation to lower extremities... we are going to vacuum mats soon according to the higher ups, along with xcollars. Backboardinh should go away soon
 
I had a good workout today. Incorporated some new variations on curls for bicep and tricep day.

Amen to that. Florida and Colorado are both in the works for me and they're both a pain
 
So. I had a call into my Pararescue recruiter after the accident. He called today and said "I'm so sorry, bud. But there's no way in hell we can get you on flight status after a surgery like that."
There goes... Well.. All my dreams since I was a kid, ha. Kinda feelin'... Frankly, that I'm done with it all. I have no idea what the hell to do anymore.
 
Shopping for a new Kindle Fire....mine is nearly two years old and showing it's age, do I want the $180 HDX, the $140 "regular" HD model? (I know I don't want the 6in or 8.9in models) or should I just wait for the next models to come out (no idea when that would be, anyone have any idea?)

I know, I know, perfect example of a 1st world problems post lol
 
I have the HDX. It's great... But all I use it for is reading and the occasional Netflix binge.
 
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, portable book reader, the occasional game, and streaming a downloaded movie or show for those "hurry up and wait" moments at monthly drill, interminable DMV lines, laying in bed when I don't need/want to keep the whole house up with the main living room tv (or just feeling too lazy to get out of bed in the morning on my days off lol) so idk if I really want the higher end HDX...but it's only 40 bucks more for a nice list of improvements over the cheaper HD model

Spend the extra 40 bucks. You deserve it.

Wow...I'm sorry to hear that...
Just give it time to figure out...could've been a sign?

I know that feel... I was going for Pararescue until my recruiter saw that I had a heart murmur needless to say that was the end of that "after high school career pursuit".

Yeah, I'm def thinking I'm going to go with the HDX 7" (now hopefully they wont release the next gen model in two weeks lol)
Now the problem is that I want to get a Gumdrop Drop Tech Hideaway case (the Hideaway includes a built in kickstand). Basically the exact same thing as some of our work iPads have and it's hands down the best case I've seen...except Gumdrop doesn't have that particular case in stock on its website and I can't find one elsewhere (Amazon or eBay) so I might have to go with one I don't really want in the meantime :/

Now that royally sucks, sorry to hear. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a Navy pilot, flying jets off of carries, when I got glasses, I knew that basically killed that idea. I ended up refocussing and joining Army SOF (granted I'm "only" a PSYOPer not a green beret or an 11B Ranger but still lol)

So idk if those injuries/surgeries will prevent this, but what if you can't do AF Pararescue, how about Combat Controller? Or Army 68W/Navy Corpsman? etc?
 
How do you politely tell someone that just because they "grew up in a fire station around all the firefighters and medics" that it does not automatically entitle them to a medical license of any kind? I don't care that you are fresh out of high school going to some prestigious college (okay, around here, it's all we got and it's not that prestigious) or that your daddy is lieutenant of the station or that you know all your fire guys and medic guys on a first-name basis. You take the class and do the work just like the rest of us. And, quite frankly, you're not that good at it either if, more than halfway in, you don't know what ABC stands for.
