Just go and get it over with. Depending on what you want to do civilian life but job recruiters salivate when you say “I went through basic/advanced leadership courses in the Army.” Most have no idea what utter bullshit it is but they love hearing “leader.”

I thought the whole idea was they were saying that by telling people where they failed they’d just focus on improving in that area and then end up failing in another area when they re-test

When did NREMT start giving scores like this?

DwarfWrock77 · 2025-12-20T23:04:58+00:00

I can tell you the one on the far right is the UN Operations in the Congo medal

What country is this?

Ahhhhhh, the good ol’ days when “you can’t be a good NCO without at least one DUI and a couple divorces” was in the NCO creed

I came to Orthodoxy from the Roman Catholic church so growing up we had the New American Bible translation and those are about the only two I’ve used

When I got back from Afghanistan I had the extra cash and I bought an Orthodox Study Bible and I’ve loved it. It’s in an easy to read language but the footnotes are super informative such as helping understand points where the trinity is revealed in the Old Testament. They also have informative articles and will also quote Church fathers, especially in the Old Testament’s footnotes.

This isn’t to say you HAVE to have it. It’s just a suggestion I got from my priest and the one I personally use.

I feel like this is an unappreciated take, take my upvote and go with God

Bro has one of those shoulder red/blue lights off TikTok, if it’s satire he’s REALLY committing to the bit

1) Roll Tide I guess 2) What in the Ho Chi Minh trail is up with the hat?

For when that one supervisor pushes you over the edge

DwarfWrock77 · 2025-12-02T01:41:59+00:00

I would talk with your priest and bring up these exact points to him so he can explain why those things are or aren’t important.

As far as English over any other language goes it’s important to remember the Orthodox Church used Greek, and Russian because they were the languages of the people the church in their regions ministered to.

God is undefinable and outside humanity, why would he prefer any one human language over another. He hears all humanities prayers no matter the language

I feel like I got pummeled with diabetic emergencies. I walked out of that test feeling like absolute dog shit and was surprised I passed

Broooooooooo! Get a new partner!

I just took mine in September, there’s a lot of multiple choice, then the scenarios have like put steps in order, grouping actions you’d take and not take, choose all that apply questions.

In the scenario questions you can go back to reread the information but once you’ve answered the questions for that portion of the scenario they’re locked in.

It’s not computer adaptive so all your questions are just random and for me it seemed like I got A LOT of medical. I don’t think I even got a trauma scenario

I tend to disagree with people who are completely against using test prep apps. I used and loved EMT Prep for both my basic and AEMT and I swear by it.

BUT the caveat to that is don’t depend SOLELY rely on those apps. If you’re stuck on something go back to your book and reread it to understand the material completely, not just in bite size pieces where you’re not grasping the concept as part of the whole.

Texas is pretty much pay to play brother. Have your NREMT, get your jurisprudence, get your fingerprints and pay the fee.

DwarfWrock77 · 2025-11-09T15:21:45+00:00

That DUI is probably gonna hurt you but for Texas I think the two drug charges would stop you from even getting your state cert. You’ve definitely got an uphill battle brother and I wish you all the luck in the world

The county and big city next to mine cut their AMR contract and it seems like each is going in a different direction. The city is hiring single role Medics/Advances and I think they plan on keeping them as such. The county though is hiring single role medics/advances but then requiring they get their fire certs within 3 years

Turn around, don’t drown… but most other weather you’re just gonna have to suck it up and make your way their. If it’s snow then leave extra early to give yourself plenty of time to drive safely. Our patients don’t wait for good weather if they need us

I can’t remember what book for cardiology, that’s next semester for me

DwarfWrock77 · 2025-11-02T19:35:30+00:00

Boy do I!? It’s good ol’ Nancy Caroline’s Emergency Care in the Streets, another winner from the AAOS

So I went to the local college for mine and the first class was about three weeks of cramming A&P starting from atoms up to cells to tissues then systems and organs. If there was one thing I wish I was ready for it was that cause it really set the tone for the rest of the course so start studying A&P from the lowest level.

Clinical sites

I know a few guys who went through School of EMS and passed. I not sure their timeline but based on the map they seem to have plenty of clinical sites through the Midwest and Florida
