Hopefully by now they are out and all is well. Pat/Med schools are closed for another day and some of the roads are bumpy as hell.

Ysaundra,

Believe it or not I spent three years in Altus, again with the Air Force.

I agree Arizona was hot and dry but I started to get used to it, until the Air Force decided I needed to be in Korea (since Viet Nam was wrapping up).

From Korea I was sent to Altus, where there is also lotsa open space and all the tornados and dust you can handle. Wasn't really a bad assignment, but was glad to get back on the east coast after that.

Ysaundra,

Welcome to the big city, there is no better place for EMTs. Good luck in your job quest.

I miss Arizona, was stationed there in the Air Force.

Medford, 31 inches of the white stuff coupled with a lot of people that don't listen to Public Service Announcements.

The head bone is connected to the neck bone..........and so on. Sing it out.

_{1) Ask your local PD or junk yard if they can tow a wreck over to the high school and leave it on display for a few days.}

_{Make sure it is a wreck that was involved in DUI.}

_{2) If they can't tow the wreck, take photos of it while at the junk yard, see if you can get a couple of practice dummies (even a couple of students may work), with moulage, and pose them within the wreck. This way the class may recognize some if the "models" and realize how lives would change in losing a friend to DUI. (just a lil shock and awe).}

_{Don't laugh too hard, we did something similar to #1 on a military installation about 40 years ago. We has the wreck posted at the main entrance to the base.}

Have to agree, the Classic SE is very useful for training and to take into the field with you. No need to go to the high end scopes especially for all the abuse they may take. I was given one of the Cardio scopes as a gift but for field use i prefer my Classic.

Yeah but it was fun to read.

I resolve not to make resolutions.

Thank you, and also to you! I am on call, yippie! No partying for me. Of course, I kind of gave up partying a few years back, when I got old

You are never too old to party!!

I am also on call, so the party will be a little late.

A very Happy and Prosperous 2013 to all!

You and your family remain in my prayers. I hope you soon see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Glad to see you gave that corporate life the flick, I hear people on the train talking about it and it makes me want to vomit blood; I would rather be raped up the ass with a white hot poker than do some corporate BS job, fuck that

I will hopefully (hopefully) be starting the degree next year as well.

Now, should I show up when you ring up for R50, be afraid, be very, very afraid, mwahahahaha!

Sorry, but that sounds tooooo painful!

Very wild guess, Food poisoning!

Prayers to the whole community of Newton Ct, and the families of the innocent ones that lost their lives.

I have to be careful with religious discussions. But they are sooooo much fun!

Welcome to the city.. Hang in there.

Welcome to the City!!

I have tried a couple of other sites, but they just couldn't cut it for some the good stuff you will get here.

Stick around, lots to learn..

What gift are you giving yourself for christmas?

Treating myself to an Applie I-Phone 5 in black, and a Kindle Fire HD.

"I think Nitro should be banned from EMT level administration"

I am just curious, Why?

Welcome to the big city!!!

That's what newbies and firemen are good for!! Keep up the good work!

Tyler, how long will you be in New York?

Keep in mind, you will find shifts that are uneventful. Sometime you feast and sometimes you famine. Then there are times when the fit hits the shan and you wish for the quiet. My first couple ride a longs were quiet, just hang in there and be open to learning by observing. Do stick with the forums, cuz there is a lot to learn.

Don't forget "Lipitor". I don't know which of the names listed above are the generic for it.

Momma B is still in my prayers.
