Hello all, I signed up here a looong time ago when my dream of EMS first started. I checked all of my threads from back then and I couldn't help but to laugh. My last log-on date was August 28th 2008, the day I signed up for the Navy. So now here I am a Corpsman working at a Naval...

HN here up at Naval Hospital Bremerton

Ahhh humility and empathy. Soooo important. I can't believe I left that out.

Hello everybody. So in my speech class we get to do a 5-7 minute speech on a topic of our choice. I decided to do mine on what makes a good paramedic, that is, what qualities they need to have. So, what 4 or 5 things do you think a Paramedic needs to be good? There are many I think that...

Hey guys once again. Ok. Well I asked you guys about my major a couple of weeks ago and I decided that I am just going to get a Nursing Degree and transfer over. At my school you need the General AA degree as well as the Nursing Program degree and I should finish my general AA within...

Hey guys, I know I have asked you educational questions before and you have all always been able to point me in the right direction. Basically as of right now I am 25 credits away from getting my General AA and plan on going to a 4 year this time next year. I want to go to Central...

Hey guys. I read a couple months back that there were some plans to start making drivers licenses with passports built into them. I think since then that plan fell through. But then I got to thinking about it, wouldn't it make the job a lot easier if they stored medical information inside...

lol. No offense guy but if I had to choose one MOS in the Army out of all 150 to not trust, it would be a recruiter. lol^_^. At least I know mine was full of :censored::censored::censored::censored:. And the reason I wouldn't join isn't because of having trouble getting a contract, its...

Yeah I know that is the whole point of going to MEPs to sign the contract. I have been reconsidering really and my parents are really against me doing this. I think I might just get my EMT-P and maybe a few years down the road join the Reserves. I really want to be a soldier but I'm putting...

Well MEPs was both better and worse than I expected. The Hotel was really nice and everybody treated me well. Also the other recruits weren't the typical 17 and 18 year old screw offs I was told I would be tagging along with. Most every person there was mature and behaved well. MEPs...

I am fairly sure that females cannot be PJ's. Almost positive. Either way, I'm going Army 68W - Combat Medic. You should look into it.

Well guys, I talked to the NCOIC at my recruiter's office because apparently the 68W MOS is closed right now.:rolleyes:. Anyway this guy is a First Sergeant who was a 68Q - Pharmacy Specialist called someone high up at MEPs to open it up for me and they can now get 68W w/ Airborne into my...

Well, it never killed anybody to cover the same lifesaving topics twice. Oh right, it's probably SAVED a few people. lol. I have no problem doing something twice.

I understand the difference between the Civilian and Military qualifications. However I'm just curious how a potential employer would look at Military experience as an EMT-B vs. civilian experience as an EMT-B? Also, my recruiter doesn't have a copy of my ASVAB scores I took my Junior year...

Is anybody out there a 68-Whiskey? I'm looking for some advice here other than what the rectruiters feed to me.

Hey guys. I have been looking into becoming a 68W with Airborne. How well would potential employers look at my resume with the military experience vs. civilian experience as an EMT-Basic?

I really don't think its hurt. It's more like the muscles are sore. The pain isn't getting any worse. In fact I've been putting ice on it and rubbing it and it is getting better.

Hey guys. Well, I've wanted to be a paramedic since before I could drive and I always knew that I wanted the best driving record possible, for obvious reasons. So since I started driving I have followed all laws and have never gotten a single ticket. I did get pulled over once though for...

That is sad. A few years ago there was an accident around here were a Grandmother was driving, the mother was in the passenger seat and the son around 9 or 10 was in the back. They went around the corner in their Honda Civic and collided with a large bull elk. This was of course on a highway...

My resolution? Well, the only thing I've have ever REALLY wanted for the past couple years and couldn't get it is my EMT-B cert. It all starts from there.^_^
