I am confused, are you looking for info on WFR or WEMT courses?

The link did not work for me, what is the job title?

What about a Coast Guard rescue swimmer? I am not certain but if your foot is strong enough you should be able to join. Sometimes the Air Force just looks for any excuse not to enlist people..

Wow, hating on the Service. At least it pays the rent! A WEMT upgrade won't nescesarily help your chances but it certainly won't hurt your chances. Unless the job announcment specifically calls for a WEMT in the needed qulifications section then it is not nescessary. That being said the class...

My wife has been a sheriff's deputy for the past five years with type 1. She is amazing and never lets the diabetes get out of hand. She always carries extra glucose and constantly checks her BGL. My wife didn't have to use any extra paperwork with the DMV when she went to patrol, but we live in...

Well, I am not sure how your tests are worded but online practice tests for the national registry MAY help. They certainly can't hurt. In my class I studied all the workbook problems, especially the scenarios because my teacher loved using in-depth questions on his tests. . Again it is...

hehe, thats like calling a Paramedic a basic. Yes, one is an EMT-B and one is an EMT-P but a medic is a medic and a basic is a basic. If you ever want a spot on a shot crew never tell the sup you want on his type 1 team, I don't care what wikipedia says... (just trying to save your interview)...

Hey Cake, Wildand FF are a completely different class than structure fire guys. Out in the west most of the FD train thier crews with the proper "S" classes. Unless your particular FD gives the S certification and can issue red cards then I would not use that avenue. Wildland FF are militaristic...

Good luck!

EMTPrep.com is pretty good...

It is a bit late for this season but I am a part of a wildland fire team as tanker medic. It is BLS so my EMT is good enough. Next year I am hoping to be a Med unit leader with a type II wildfire team.

You could go for a Wilderness upgrade but what I would do (however I am new to this as well) is take all the add-ons, ITLS, I think BCLS is an option as well. My plan now that I am newly minted is to hook up volunteer style with a small local ambulance service and start using these new skills...

Wow, thank-you Mr. Brown!

How about blood glucose, a sugary alcoholic drink can send a diabetic over the edge. Also depending on the PT sugars from alcohol can cause a crash then shoot bgl through the roof. Would also explain the mental state... If her bgl is normal then I am also on the path of bad combination of...

Oh, don't we LOVE butter bars! My old Senior Chief loved it every time he saw a new one and had to break him in as to who REALLY ran the show...
