Yeah, everything still says Rural Metro but yeah it's AMR. Our EPCRs say AMR on them.

A very hearty congratulations, V!
I assume your area is an IFT/911 split as well?

Yeah. The county 911 contract is up for talks so not sure what's going to happen with AMR coming in.
I believe they actually extended the contract for another 3 years if you are talking about Santa Clara County. I didn't find anything that says they actually did it, but it was voted on like a month ago.

I can't believe I've been married a year already. Yesterday was our anniversary. Damn that year flew by.

Today is my fit test. I'm not feeling very fit since my 15 yo dog kept waking me up throughoutthe night. Hopefully I can muster the strength to kill it. Lol

Nothing to kill. a FIT test is a test to determine if a respirator fits correctly.

Here's hoping you got the sweet, not the stinky, spray.

Unfortunately I got the stinky spray. I got through the 75 pound curl bar going up and down the stairs backwards with it, 130 spine board lift and all the rest of those 9 stations. When I got to the 10th, I freaking fell. Game over. I can retest in 2 weeks, but now I'm intimidated by it and really, REALLY disappointed in myself.

The physical aglity test for AMR is to easy in my opinion. Get a good nights sleep and you'll breeze through it.

I got through most. Didn't panic. Just not strong enough....yet.

Are the tests the same across the board? I didn't think this was easy. Carrying 75 pounds up and down stairs backwards, lifting and holding 130 pounds on a backboard to name just a couple......I was just about there. I was on the next to last station. They frown on candidates falling down, though.

Do the Hans and Franz workout. We need to pump you up.

I believe the PAT is universal for AMR.

Great. Now I feel like even more of a wimp. It was an issue holding weight. By the time I got to the end, I was really shaky.

Two days back to work from vacation, and I took another shift off to go fishing on my friend's new boat. Worth it!
