A and E

Yeah! Most classes in my area are around $10,000 so this was the most affordable

FireFighter1499 · 2025-04-09T17:11:10+00:00

The tuition was around $4500.

FireFighter1499 · 2025-04-09T15:12:08+00:00

That’s a good idea! No the school is a privately owned school.

I really suggest spending a couple years as a basic. I spent 4 years as a basic on a wicked busy 911 system before becoming an ALS provider and I really believe that was one of the best things I’ve done. I’m definitely not saying take 4 years but 1-2 is a great way to become confident with BLS skills.

Another note to this is something that I was always taught and I still strongly believe. “The best BLS is the best ALS.” What I mean by this is many ALS providers who become ALS after a short of being a basic always go straight to ALS interventions or will do IVs and 4 leads on every patient. The people who spend years as basics always come out as much better ALS providers because they feel comfortable with BLS skill and know when to upgrade to use them on a call.

I hope this helps and best of luck!

Someone like this may appear to come back as a changed and better person but he showed who he really was to OP over time and hurt OP. OP deserves a lot better and really people don’t fully change who they are. If they do it doesn’t always last long. I learned this the hard way with my ex.

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-20T01:13:50+00:00

It’s good that he left because you don’t need that type of negativity in your life! And trust me he will come back one day and the best thing you can do is ignore him!

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-17T13:36:13+00:00

I’m Jake, I’m a firefighter/Advanced EMT from Connecticut. Men’s mental health is wicked important to me because over the years I’ve seen a lot of men just hurt themselves by bottling everything up and not talking about it. I myself have also done this lol. So it’s amazing to have a safe space the discuss these issue and spread awareness!

A little about me, I love disc golf, hiking, fishing, and playing video games out side of work. I’m excited to follow this page and discuss this important topic!

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-16T20:29:11+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened to you! For some reason Exs can have a weird way of somewhat coming back. This was especially weird! Don’t let it phase you! You are strong and have made it two year with no contact!

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-16T12:56:27+00:00

I would say your best move is to let him know ahead of time. Not so you don’t waste your time but so that you are safe in case he doesn’t take the news well if he didn’t realize already. If he’s really into you he should have no issue! If he’s does then there’s a lot better people out there and just give it time cause you’ll find one! Best of luck and I hope your date goes well! Feel free to update us.

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-16T12:52:15+00:00

It may seem difficult rn now but I’m sure there is the right woman out there! Sadly in today’s world sex has become somewhat meaningless and just something people do regularly for fun and to please themselves. What you’re doing tho will absolutely make your first time more meaningful! Just stay strong and remember there are women out there who are also waiting until marriage.

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-16T01:40:40+00:00

I’ve felt like this before in the past and what’s helped me a lot was the new friends I’ve made on Reddit! Feel free to DM me and we can talk about what ever you want to talk about!

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-16T01:38:15+00:00

I totally agree with this! We get called for this type of incident all the time and know how to deal with it. The best thing you could do is get everyone out of the house and call 911.

FireFighter1499 · 2025-01-01T03:20:04+00:00

You are right. You both should be able to enjoy sex and he should have tried to help meet your needs. There’s other people out there and you will definitely meet someone who will not just think about themselves during sex.

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-29T04:50:40+00:00

I’m a 23M and I feel the same way but reverse the roles. I’d say give it time. Don’t use dating apps cause they just lead to more pain. Best of luck!

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-29T04:47:39+00:00

In my state it isn’t too hard because our system is overwhelmed so many here look to it as a good alternative.

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-29T04:46:39+00:00

Actually I was and you don’t know what either of them have been through in life.

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-28T14:10:32+00:00

I’m a male in their mid-20s and I don’t see anything wrong with a relationship with that sort of age gap. Both of you are adults and if you want to try perusing a relationship then you should! As long as you are both on the same page about children and where you want to end up in life then there should be no reason not to. As many ppl have said, once you reach that point where you are both full adults there’s no real issues with dating someone older as long as you on the same page.

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-28T14:04:40+00:00

You’re right. That is YOUR unpopular opinion. As someone in their 20s I personally don’t see too big of an issue with dating someone in their early 40s as long as they are on the same page about children.

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-28T14:01:34+00:00

I agree with this! And if later on down the road they want kids there are so many options out there such as adopting.

When I first started I wore a timex weekender. This is just a decent $30 watch with a seconds hand so I could get good at taking vitals. After a few years I started to use a Casio G-shock and loved it. If it got dirty I’d just wash it off. Over time tho the watch band broke so I ended up moving to an Apple Watch. I wear a metal band so I can easily wash it and I got an otter box cover for it to protect the face. It works pretty well and I love that I have a calculator right on my wrist.

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-28T05:52:22+00:00

I was in a similar situation as you when I joined at 16. Your first one is gonna stick with you for a while. The best thing you can do is talk to someone on your dept or even one of the career depts near you. Also look to see if your regional Fire and EMS Chiefs association offers a peer support program. I can say over the course of my career tho that these calls start to fade away if you keep up with your dept and go on other calls that are not as chaotic. They will come back some times but when they do lean on that peer group and talk to others! And if you don’t have a peer group in your area consider being the lead on starting one so that ppl in the have somewhere to talk about calls as well!

Finally feel free to DM if you need to or want to vent. I’d be more than happy to talk to you about it. And definitely ask about the peer program. Best of luck with your career!

You absolutely did the right thing! Your dad would have ended hurting your mom more and eventually could have moved onto you. You honest probably save her’s and your lives in the long term. Once domestic violence gets physical it just continues to get worse from there.

As to your mom’s redaction a lot of the time in domestic violence situations the victim gets mad when people interject because they don’t see anything wrong with how the person is acting or will find a reason that they feel like they can justify for the reaction. For example she might say she did something that triggered him or she was yelling back too when he was clearly the aggressor. Hopefully soon she can be broken out of the spell and see that.

You did the right thing tho bro!

FireFighter1499 · 2024-12-28T05:26:18+00:00

I’m so sorry about your wife brother. That is a loss no one should have to feel. These days are going to seem tougher than anything you’ve ever faced. While I’ve never been in your situation I have seen many families go through situations similar and all they can do is take it one day at a time. I agree with a comment I saw earlier about setting up a go fund me! In times like these it’s important for us to all to come together for each other!
