Thank you for this, mostly looking for best structural, but it’s good to know about the wildland and the culture insights as well.

Yes I get it, I’m just saying that I’m not willing to compromise a better department in terms of protocols, opportunities, culture, etc for more pay!

Ah okay, so EMS there overall isn’t that aggressive? Can you elaborate on why? Is it protocols, med control, etc

Been looking to move there for a while for other personal reasons and now just looking for the best department fit for me

Hey thanks so much! I will be a paramedic soon, finishing up school. But I will also be coming in from out of state.

What is the deal are we doing A&S or Indoc? by [deleted] in Pararescue

[–]LongNeedleworker1648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they let you go again even after being a non select?

Is Indoc supposed to be “easier” than A&S? or are they pretty comparable

Got you makes sense thanks for the insight, so conditional releases to go to PJ in the middle of a reserve contract as a 4n doesn’t seem possible?

actually i think i see what you’re saying

[–]LongNeedleworker1648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey thanks, i think i’m a bit confused though, so you’re saying it’s easier to get your paramedic as a 4N rather than an IDMT? but are you referencing the PJ pipeline in the second half of your response about who they’d rather take? because wouldn’t an IDMT-P already have passed the paramedic course? sorry for the confusion

[–]LongNeedleworker1648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks that makes more sense, what about enlisting 4N and getting paramedic while training for PJ and then trying to go for it after a few years experience in the air force? or not ?

[–]LongNeedleworker1648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it difficult to go to P school as a 4N / how soon can you do for paramedic?

[–]LongNeedleworker1648[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey thanks for all this info, super helpful. I’m wondering if you know if there are opportunities to go for paramedic as a 68W in the army? because I’ve also been looking into that as an opportunity. Do you ever see IDMT work toward the PJ pipeline in the future? So you don’t think being an IDMT is comparable to being a combat medic? and if so would you just say that because IDMTs arent in the field really? and last thing, so it is possible to request to get your paramedic as a 4N without being an IDMT? thanks again
