Thanks both of you provided great info. I am trying to get in as a volunteer with a Fire Department to keep up on my EMT knowledge. Since the only EMS company is about an hr away. I just moved to this state a few months ago from California, So I found it a lot different. One EMS company vs. 20...

Thanks. So Ace 227, are you currently a 68W? I decided I want to do this for the following reasons. I am joining the NG, because I want to become a Paramedic, and eventually Fire Medic. I know it is a 6 yr commitment, and I know I can and most likely will be deployed. I do not mind either of...

I am supposed to leave in January to 68W Basic, followed by AIT, followed by Airborne School. How is the combat medic training, I am an EMT-B and Have worked as an EMT for about a yr. What should I be expecting. Thanks.

That test is really weird. The questions are just out there. I got the book, read it, then took the test. I failed it 2 times in the same period of time, i re took it my last chance. I had memorized all the answers by then and passed it hah.

These are my 2 cents. Me during the first few weeks of emt course. I was clueless, felt stupid, whenever I would get questioned by the teacher, my head would go blank, and I was nervous all the time thinking my teacher would ask me. I realized I needed to study hard, In case I would get...

So I am moving to UT next month, California is too expensive, and I just do not like it here anymore. My goal is to be a Firefighter, I want to be a Medic, but meanwhile I do not want to work retail. Are there any EMT-basic jobs in SLC or orem? I have been doing my research and it seems they...

show your face everywhere, and dress to impress. I applied around 12 places in san diego before I got hired, and I took the first job offered, maybe not the place I wanted but its experience.

You probably heard it a million times, if you love EMS, youll love it, no matter the pay. I am an EMT-B, I work in this and i cannot tell you how much I like it. Some patients I have taken are blind, and they still remember me next time I come around. Its a great feeling. With your background as...

Seems to be like EMT I do a lot more almost as much as Paramedics.

Thanks, I cant seem to find anything about them, only goldcross which takes care of salt lake city.

Thanks, by any chance do you know who runs the bls contract aside from Goldcross.? In San diego there is about 12 companies i know of. Is it like that there too?

Do you guys know who runs the 911 contract in utah, and how are jobs here. Specifically in Ogden, or Orem. I am moving there from San Diego this year and Currently am an emt-b. FFT1 so I am applying to wild land agencies too. Any suggestions.

yeah, its been 3 weeks, she is just like that to all the new people, there are about 8 or 9 newbies. Even to long term people he/she is just a bitter person i guess. I actually do not laugh at his dumb jokes nor go along when he picks on people. I noticed when I work with my other emts...

Yeah to begin with, I heard lots of bad things about this company, which I wont name for obvious reasons. But it is what it is, I need the experience and my goal is medic eventually fire, or medic then PA school. Or wildland and work my way up to battallion chief. I guess I just kinda got used...

Yeah, after talking about it with other people that was my thought too. He probably either is insecure and thinks he is better than all new emt's or he wants us to stand up to him. Because i notice none of the new guys do. They just look down and take it when he picks on them. And the questions...

sorry about the double post, i clicked it twice because of my internet. Thanks for the advice, that is the reason I accepted the job, just to get my foot in the door and get experience. I guess I just have to make the best of it.

I recently started an emt job, mostly transports from dialysis home and so on a couple er calls once in a while. While I run calls with other emts its a smooth ride, im learning if i ask they clear my mind. But when I run with fto, he is a completely rude person. I cannot ask anything unless I...
