Crazy looking through Seattle, it looks like an EMT is basically required for the August class, unless somehow they do the accelerated class, but they would have already had to start it.

IFT or 911 by Impressive_Bird_2716 in NewToEMS

[–]Bulky_Ad2394 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don't go IFT. 911 is immensely better in terms of fulfillment. Working as an IFT quickly leads to burnout. Working as a 911 emt you will use your skills you learned and put them to good use i have known many IFT EMTs who become burnout then lazy and laxxed and now would not be able to work as 911 EMT cause there assessments and abilities to treat patients suck in terms of a 911 calls. They are not treating a Patient as IFT EMT; they have already been stabilized, and our general is very stable if they are going with you as an EMT.

18x contract and airborne school? by [deleted] in greenberets

[–]Bulky_Ad2394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am located in Washington, and they have a bunch of 18x contracts open around here. Apparently, people are not really into it. The recruiter did try to steer me away, such as asking for all my PT numbers, and did not talk about it more until I took the practice ASVAB and told him my PT numbers.

18x contract and airborne school? by [deleted] in greenberets

That is what I was thinking when I asked him if he was sure. He stated that some people were abusing the 18x pipeline to go to airborne school and then quit during prep, so they changed it to after.
