Hey everyone! It's been a while since I posted and I'm checking in to say hi and get some opinions about the guidance of my career path... I am the one who got laid off from my first ground medic ALS job just out of school after graduating With Honors. I am intending to become a Flight...

I will be a single role Medic, employed at the FD. Thanks to all of you for your support! :rolleyes:

Hi, everyone, hope you are all doing well.
