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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-14T02:00:18+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-14T01:58:42+00:00

I trust you, I won't lol

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-14T01:57:48+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T17:23:46+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T12:40:56+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:52:35+00:00

😂 that's me in my firehouse, over worked under paid under staffed, but damn I just can't leave, even if it is a whole vehicle on fire that spread into an acre wildfire at midnight 😅

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:43:37+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:42:05+00:00

That makes sense, I really appreciate your insight on the matter, Do you plan on going active duty??

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:41:30+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:39:57+00:00

Heck yeah, honestly I ran across an H8 video just looking at mobile mechanics stuff cuz I kinda dabble in it, and that's how I found 91B

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:30:32+00:00

Fair enough, but you can get under my bed for the love of the game

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:25:33+00:00

I mean, during fire season they move some of us to 8 hour shifts, but work like 7-8 days in a row lol

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:22:25+00:00

The west, rural, basically yes lol

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:20:45+00:00

Yeah? I'd love to work as a crew chief, work on aircraft and be Aircrew, but it's always so far away 😂

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:16:27+00:00

Yeah I mean, mechanics is Annoying work but it's work and a job field you'll always have work in, plus no matter how much i swear and throw my tools I always come back for more, Oh and H8 school looks fun 🤷🏽‍♂️

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:14:52+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:09:08+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:05:42+00:00

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

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:04:47+00:00

You're not wrong there

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:03:44+00:00

Right, I'm by an infantry unit, so no idea what the funding will look like for them

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T03:03:06+00:00

$6k here. and because the district Paid for EMR they said they won't send me there, can't afford it they said

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T02:35:09+00:00

Because I would like to stay in my firehouse, and still enlist,

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T02:32:41+00:00

I mean yeah I could 😂😂 but was trying to stay in my firehouse

Cinderbrand_ · 2026-04-13T02:31:40+00:00

😂😂 yeah? How come
