I thought it was better than the first one, almost like the directors learned something.

Believe me, everyone still in wants it, politics and such though.

All of your statements are spot on. I’d just add a few things. Communities are slowing coming around to, specifically, utilizing Army flight medics for assistance due to the fact that with the Paramedic and critical care training our guidelines are fairly in line with what other HEMS agencies...

So yeah, it largely depends on where you are stationed. Fort Bliss in West Texas gets a decent amount of calls and has a crew on station 24/7. They do hoist missions rescues throughout west Texas and medevacs if the civilian life flights turn down the mission. On post in their training area they...

I know of plenty of flight medics that suck at swimming lol! Yeah, it’s not exactly entry level and highly depends on how you want to go about it. Our whole pipeline is also changing, from 2012 until last year training was contracted through UTHSCSA in San Antonio now it’s all internal at Fort...

Since it was brought up here by the way, I have current information and know those at the Army flight medic schoolhouse for those that are interested. Going Guard as a flight medic isn’t as hard as you would think if you are a Paramedic.

Do your best to stand out. I’ve seen Army flight medics right out of the Army get hired by air ambulance services who have very little civilian experience. If you interview well, know your stuff and have some interesting stuff to put on your resume as well as 911 experience you will do well. Oh...

Thanks for the help and the suggestion in regards to Coryell Memorial EMS. I contacted them about PRN employment and also let them know I was still waiting on my state card. They told me I can apply immediately to save some time so I'm hopeful. I sent applications to AMR and Acadian as well but...

Thanks for all the suggestions, one more question, is a company / agency that doesn't currently have any part time job postings worth reaching out to in this area? I know sometimes companies will still take a resume and consider part time employment if they need people enough but I've been out...

Thanks Rocket, iirc you've been in the area awhile now. Yeah I'd rather not get stuck on IFT's, I did some of those in NY and preferred 911 over them all day every day. That's kind of why I was leaning towards AMR. AMR Temple has no part-time positions posted, AMR Waco does. It's a bit far but...

First off good evening and happy Thanksgiving everyone. Long story short I'm looking for some insight on part time / per diem paramedic opportunities in the central Texas area. Backstory for me, I'm an active duty Army flight medic who really wants to get back on an ambulance. Obviously still...

The Army timeline is this, 8 weeks of an NREMT-B accredited class followed by the NREMT-B written and psychomotor exam. You have to pass the NREMT-B to progress. After that it's 8 weeks of tactical medicine with splashes of clinical medicine here and there but the emphasis is TCCC medicine. One...

Hehe, got 'em coach.

Not to Bragg but.....

Thank you.

Hey all, I’m a newly graduated paramedic from the Army’s flight paramedic program in San Antonio, TX. My first duty station is going to be Fort Hood, TX so the Killeen area. I volunteered in the Fort Drum area as an EMT for 3 years and enjoyed it quite a bit. Anyway I’m looking for any...

Not 100% sure how TECC works but TCCC's first step is suppressing the threat before rendering any care to your patient. Can't do that if you're not armed. Another gun in the fight to end it faster to provide better care in a tactical field care situation rather than a care under fire situation...

Haha we're not Rangers either, that's the 75th Ranger Regiment based out of Fort Benning. There are some officers and NCO's that have the Ranger tab after going to Ranger school but that's different than being in the Ranger regiment. All good man. Hope my info helped!

I'm reviving this a bit because I have some good information that I don't believe has been shared. I was starioned at Fort Drum until last December and volunteered in EMS in the area for several years, I know most of the Fort Drum paramedics. Also did you say 10th mountain was SF? Not even...

How do you like the Mercedes Sprinters? They are becoming more and more prevalent here in the States. I don't mind the way they look but some people seem to hate them.
