Nick et al, sorry for delay..Crash Rescue versus PJ

WHen I did it, Rescue was an additional school you took if sponsored by your home base, taught us about the AS-32-P-10 Forcoibloe Entry Vehicle (Dodge Powerwagon with stuff added), plus a medical week which they waived if you had your EMT (I did). Learned to approach and safety aircraft and their ejection seats, extricate aircrew. Also learned some structural stuff like rappeling with just a lineman's belt and safety hook (ouch), etc. In real life we did EMS responses, reset and troubleshot fire alarm systems, carried the only poweerd forcible entry and ventilation tools in the dept. I was ther first full time assigned EMT on Offutt's truck, Rescue 6.

PJ's are hard core combat rescue guys who stay sharp doing peacetime or non-combat rescues. Instead of a Dodge PowerWagon they drive a PAVEHWAK or Herc.

I was a systems integration & test engineer for developing automated test stations for fighter jets & helocoptors. I had looked at doing EMT part time/volunteer in the past but couldn't figure out how to make the scheduling work out. Now that I have been reduced I can work on making EMS my new job B)
