It is hard... however if you work at it, it will last... i am currently engaged to a non-ems person. she has a hard time understanding and dealing with it at times... i run two 12 hour shifts a week... tuesday night and friday nights... but we work through it... and calls i either can't/won't talk w/ her about i can talk w/ my dad about since he was a FF/Medic for 31 years... she is understanding about it and we work hard to make the relationship last...

AOxCarrot - a brain dead PFO'd - Pretty fucked up FDGB - Fall down go boom i will try and think of more.

cause i am nostalgic.. i don't know.. i was talking w/ some people again about it... and was currious what the new people thought... had to saw... i am not going to bump many more... the one i really wanted to bump was the O2 fire one... i was just currious about this one...

again just bumping up to poll the new people here

hey i am somewhat back now.. and thought i would bump up some of my old threads since there are so many new people.. just currious what the new people think of these?

I put long history of family psycosis... (sp?) i am 3rd generation fire/ems. great grandfather was a fire fighter, my father was a MFF/NREMT-P (w/ all the vowels and all the speciatly training for the fire dept) and now me... EMT - B, hopefully FF once i get ito the class if my department can get the paperwork done right.... (sorry sore subject i was supposed to be in the fire school that started tonight... but didn't get in cause of paperwork issues)... alright done w/ that little rant...

BRING IT ON@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol i may be a B but hey it can help me realize just how much more i need to go to school. lol oh well bring it on

hey aslong as they let me keep my turnout gear (for safety of course) i don't care... the l&s and the uniform are nice... as someone else said... a nice bonus... but when it comes down to it i will take care of the pt and put out the fires nomatter what they do... hell like someone else said i have done pt care wearing jeans and a t-shirt. big deal... as long as you take care of the pt. and do your job (whether your actually getting a pay check or vol. like i am) that is the important part. just my thoughts on that

Hey welcome.. we as well do not have a cadet program at my department.. but would support it if there was one because it is a great way to learn responsibility and how to give back to the community... good luck with it.. and sorry i couldn't give more info about other cadet.explorer programs

I am referring to call volume and the types of calls...

What are you? a white cloud or a black cloud or a grey cloud (sometimes white/sometimes black)? just wondering..

Ridryder 911 you forgot to say have somethinig to do early in the morning so that you also need to get sleep (if you work a night shift like i do)

we don't have LMA's here.. we use the combitube (all levels) or the ETT (E,I,P)

its okay that you don't know.. i would say it but i am on duty... aw hell ... i am about to take my boots off anyway.. so it is Slow, Quiet, and boring... those are the no no words.. unless you want a call... lol

currious about this do you believe that uttering the "S" word, the "B" word, the "Q" word while on duty will curse you and cause you to have a call? just wondering...

Hey I remember this as a thread on I think it was the old board.. but I am wondering... what do yall keep in your jump kits... item wise... i am getting ready to do a standby at an equestirian event and i am trying to restock my kit.. and brain farting... anyone out there got Ideas? Brian

its so much fun being a full time student, a vol, and trying to work a full time computer job... :-D

I def agree w/ USAF on that one... about the laugh or cry... it has def. helped... :-D

Hey just currious.. do yall have the electronic PCR, touch screen, toughbooks, pentabs, etc, (whatever you wana call them) or do yall use paper Patient care reports? just wondering.. we are getting ready to go to an electronic toughbook touch screen thing... just currious what others have.

LOL well the evidence may be otherwise.. however it sure seems that way.. or maybe we just pay attention to the weird stuff more on those day... but hey whatever... I shall continue the tradition.. :-D

I would like to think i could do as USAF suggests... I may get him out.. and then kick his ass and then hand him over... but if i saved him from the fire... i would get him out and he would be a sack of patatos when i gave him to the cops... :-D i would hope atleast that is what i would do and Sibling...

we use 800 MHZ trunked system... motorolas...

ah.. sounds like fun... yeah... i am not one to be itching to fly them or anything.... Guy denyed loss of conciousness... therefore he denied loss of conciousness.... and soon as the arriving unit was there I handed it over to them and faded into the night... :-D after being blown off... it was only the cop who said thanks...

yea... fortunately I haven't run any serious things yet... they are fauily tame as far as MS13 goes.. but they have been getting more and more rambunctious (sp?) lately... oh well... thats what the brown canaries are for...

lol no thats great.. i am just waiting for that to happen... I run in an area where MS13 is big... and other fun stuff... i think that ought to be amusing... lol
