48/96 is the life for me.

Finally got my foot in the door as a skills instructor at a local EMT program. Stoked when I finish my BA next year, I can work on getting into the community college programs.

Super strict? There shouldnt be too much variation. Like above, know those skill sheets and youll be fine.

MoVal = Fun? We have different definitions of fun.

Same here, my fellow engineer put in time off for it, because "it's not a holiday" F that, if you have small kids, it's a holiday!

It's a 24 on the ambo? Where? FD or private? Fire station holidays can be fun.

Time as a medic is inversely correlated with desire to intubate unnecessarily. Not sure I said that right, but you get what I mean.

I never liked the taste until I was in my late 20s.

Cool. To each their own. Some of us enjoy a few special pepsis after a long day.

Want to be a nurse?, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, do not go to medic school. Get your pre reqs done ASAP. If you want to be a medic in SoCal? IMHO, either go fire or GTFO CA. I'm not saying that just because I am fire, I am saying that because as a whole, FD's offer pay and...

CA does this now with the new online licensing system, when you sign in it says audit or no audit. Not worth the risk, 48 hours of CE's is not that bad.

American Fresno? You should probably specify where you are at. Are you an EMT or medic?

One of our Capt's has been a falconer for years, had a gyrfalcon and a peregrine that recently passed. His current project is a special needs owl. He brings his birds to the station when he's on duty and we've seen them hunt in the app bay. Pretty damn cool hobby.

I hope it was like the instruction on the BIG gun

Wow! The bear bit the bullet and bought you guys VL's! That's awesome. Means I can go to my Chief and play the hey, well Cal Fire got em card.

Wait....So you're telling me a large, for-profit ambulance company in CA doesn't want to pay their workers a liveable wage or decent benefits 😲. All I heard was how much better Falck was going to be than AMR or PP. Guess not. Can't say im surprised.

What a day for CFB for me. My Tide beat up on Mizzou, Oklahoma and LSU go down.

I think everyone is affected in different ways obviously. I always thought I was tough and could just push it all down. Let me tell you, that is the wrong approach, and it could have ended much worse. Friend, SO, therapist, you gotta get this stuff out or it will drown you. I worked on some of...

I think if the patient asks, and you are comfortable then go for it. Otherwise, not our place. Religion is a touchy subject for a lot of people. I had a partner once who was a devout non-denominational Christian, we had a bathtub near drowning, she immediately tried to tell the parents, it's...

I have the same issue. It makes it much harder
