  1. reading though this thread makes me giggle. 3 more months until summer ends, and i can get out of alaska and start jumping
  2. Wow. 9 years ago, I was 10 That is amazing :) Congratulations!
  3. I thought this kind of thing was an unspoken law, or something.
  4. Was not aware of that! The job situation hasn't hit us that hard, the FD here just hired a few more full time paid staff, actually. They are also hiring an EMS Training officer, but have not had that much luck finding anyone.
  5. bry how much coffee do you exactly drink in one day?
  6. One little step in this gigantic game of tug-o-war between the two parties. Hope it keeps building. It's a shame to even think about this so called "War on Drugs". Such a waste
  7. I bet these are the same type of people judging and portraying the current administration as Hitler...
  8. all that media attention was crazy. found this picture and felt sort of bad (actually, really bad.) http://i.imgur.com/RDKDF.jpg
  9. the place where i got my medic, here in florida dosent require any actual experience, just an EMT liscense and that you pass Anatomy and Phys. ive gone straight through EMT school, into fire school, and through medic school. and am now looking for a job. but either way, i would NOT recommend doing it my way (i HAD to, due to extenuating circumstances) and passed fine, but it was NOT easy by any means, even the guys taht had been EMT's for years struggled pretty badly. either way good luck. It sounds like you're trying to be a paid firefighter? I do it (paid volunteer) and I've always toyed around with the idea of going that route. With your medic cert and all that, have you seen more employment opportunities for someone who goes into the medical side of things? I wouldn't mind. I've lived in Alaska for the majority of my life and I get outdoors plenty. A little cold wouldn't hurt at all. I just feel naked without any sort of mountain as a mental bookmark
  10. almost ran into a whale a few days ago...
  11. got my boat captains hat, pipe, and smoking jacket. hugh hefner. hahaha, this is going to be an interesting year.
  12. this thread makes my head hurt. true story
  13. Hey, new to this forum. I did the first level AFF last August at Skydive San Diego (just turned 18, birthday present to myself), have wanted to pursue the whole course and get my A License, but I have not had the money/time/advantage of living anywhere near a dropzone. But things seem to be turning around, I just got done spending the entire summer commercial fishing. Since the season ends so late, I won't be starting school for a little bit longer. Now it looks like I'll be leaving Alaska to pursue my goal of being a Paramedic, so I have the chance to go to a school somewhere near a good snow resort/dz. Any suggestions?
