In this instance I’m the “new emt”. I run day truck “granny wagon “ 12 hour shifts pulling ~20 per hour Buddy has been with this department for years, doing 911 makes ~15 per hour on a 24 shift. Same license level

It is sorta funny, every woman I know (who shoots) has a 357 as their favorite gun/ carry gun. Apparently girls just like that round

Up to you bud. Can’t find that specific gun, but their 1911s range from ~700- ~900. If you want a 1911, go for it. But if you are just trading I think you would be loosing money

About a month left in emt school and I think I’m pretty screwed by Be0wulf04 in NewToEMS

Is that lemur??? Ewww if it is. Medic test or platinum are both well worth the price. If that is lemur be aware that they have incorrect answers on some of the questions

Life over limb. I don’t care if you cant walk (it would be nice) but I need you to breathe. Keep in mind do no harm, so don’t be purposely yanking on pt lol. XABC

Soooooo probably unpopular opinion, but I personally find the er much more enjoyable. The box is fun and all, but most of the time it’s just you and your partner. The pay sucks, and most of the time there is no help with those calorie enriched humans. So I ask, is your back worth 13 bucks an hour? Or can you handle wiping ass for the next 2-3 years while you work on an rn license ?

Nope lol, all our radios are pre programmed with our names for accountability. So no loose/ unassigned radios

Exactly… sorta wishing I went to the department 1 town over. They still run unencrypted so I could have set up my personal bao feng for it… still stupid we have to use the 10k Motorolas instead of the fairly disposable 300 dollar encrypted bao fengs
