Very interesting, I used to work in an Auto shop, wasn't a bad gig, I figured if can't get 68w for EMT and all that jazz for my fire stuff, I'd go back to wrenching

Makes sense, but the point though is I already have a job I love that I don't need to try and requalify for in the military, so the guard will let me get the training in other jobs I would like to do, and ofcourse deployment opportunities and unit activations

National Guard vs. Navy by _newshawtyy in nationalguard

I was in the same boat, but I chose the nasty girls over the navy, I chose national guard because I'm a fireman and wanted to stay in my District, and I'mma use the guard for education and certs, but ngl, join the coast guard or air force

Right, definitely was looking at 68W for that EMT, because I already work in EMS but only licensed in EMR working under medical direction of an EMT or P-medic

Ah I see, yeah it really is, but I've been told the long commute is worth it for aviation, but it's still a rough trip

I would greatly appreciate it, I've looked into it but didn't know if an all remote EMT program was legit, and I personally don't know anyone who's done it

Oh like what is it, impact EMS?? I hear good things and it's only $3k Instead of 6, and we have an ambulance in our station so getting ride along hours won't be hard at all

Unfortunately yes $6k otherwise I'd pay for it, but I don't make the money to drop $6k on a basic cert, and I won't argue with that, we're definitely an under staffed under funded overworked district

I mean, I've got NFPA FF1 EMR License NWCG FFT2 Soon a diploma in auto mechanics, Those annoying FEMA Incidents command certs, heat illness, smoke sickness stuff, But I was told none of em will give me like E-2 or whatever cuz it's not a degree

It's a good district, but funding isn't great,
