O haha, very cool. I'm sure I'll see you around nevertheless. I'm wed-sat 8-8 at noho. By the way, they've just told me they will catch me up on the last two days after I get back, so off to NY on wed I go! I am very thankful right now..

Don't want to wait for the next class.. O_O my chances seem slim.. Hey Rolo, I see youre in simi valley. You didnt choose to work the North Hollywood station did you? If you did, what are your shifts?

Do you work for Bowers/Have you gone through their orientation? Sounds to me like stuff I may be able to push into 2 days..

All sounds very cool and amazing.. Yosemite is an amazing place also, you must feel very lucky to be able to work there. As for you situation, I trust that it is too complicated to explain, but I hope the best for you and that it all works out in the end. Although I cant help but wonder why you...

Dont quite know what you mean by that.. why the sad face? How did you get into helicopter EMS? I've been searching for companies around SoCal but havent had any luck. I would love to work on a helicopter before joining fire.. Of course I'm assuming you need a bit of experience first. Where are...

very right mountain res-q. sorry jesse, i thought you were looking at sar in general mountain res-q, i would be also very interested in your line of work in wsar. really any kind of sar interests me, but you are right that femas task forces are usar.

My ultimate goal is to one day become part of CA-TF2. theyre one of some 22 task force teams across the country organized by FEMA and USAID that get deployed around the nation for SAR missions. CA-TF2 is one of 2 teams that get deployed internationally, the other being in Virginia if my memory...

I know you said you want IFT, but McCormick's website has said they're hiring medics since forever

So what companies employ flight EMTs/medics in socal? I would love to do this but have trouble finding opprtunities..

Just a quick thread about Bowers/Pacific's orientation coming up next week.. What usually goes on during orientation during each day? I guess any orientation experience from any company would give me an idea, but looking especially for Bowers/Pacific as theirs is 8-5pm next Mon-Thurs. I'm...

I know you mentioned you already know the calls they run, but isnt running the calls you want (911 vs IFT) your first priority? (americare got gerbers contract to run fire for santa monica right?) Dont know much about americare, but I was also deciding between Bowers and APA. Pretty much...

Thanks for the PM Danno So I found I have a schedule conflict with Bowers orientation dates. Last two days, I have to fly to New York to take a firefighter written exam. I called Randy about it and he was so nice about it and said he would talk to the orientation supervisor to see what he...

Thanks for the replies guys, it helps a great deal. Listening to what your saying, it does make sense. And from first impressions, APA seemed to be pretty strict and not too personable, both at interview and phone. They just called me earlier today saying their insurance may not accept my...

Interesting.. Just to make sure, B is offering 9.30 with 1.5x overtime and AP is offering 12 with 2x overtime. For everyone that said Bowers, you would still choose them? It's about a 3k difference over the year.. More with OT.. If you guys still think so, I may have to listen to your advice...

How are the Bowers stations? Any chance you were working for them in the SFV? Im supposed to be stationed at North Hollywood
