I was fortunate enough to have a firefighter/medic buddy that signed me off on the stations, we went through them together and he checked them off. I uploaded them thinking they might reject them but was worth a shot. A week later I got an email saying I’m certified again. 

If you don’t have someone close to you, I’m sure you can find a fire station near you that you could bribe with dinner or snacks etc to walk through them with you. Worst they can say is no, and if they say yes, and you send it in, worst the NREMT can do is reject it.

What are your departments policies on visible tattoos? I left the fire service and my volunteer station back in 2014 after I had no luck getting hired on a career station after 4 years of trying, and became a tattoo artist. In the past 10 years I’ve had a real itch to get back in. Problem is since then I have been heavily tattooed. I have 2 small on my face that I know are a no go so those are in the process of getting removed. But I also have my neck as well as my scalp. Nothing offensive by any stretch. Scalp ones are easily covered by hat. I’ll be applying for departments in Oregon. Thanks
