thank you Piranha and BP! Both jobs will give me critically important skills for prepping!
It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.
Vert congrats on getting into your career. I have been firefighting since I turned 18...thats six years ago now I was a fire explorer from the time I was 12 to I got hired on the fire dept. Ive been a medic now for 4 years and was a basic for two before that. I also am a tactical medic, and am currently being considered for a command spot at my department. I do Fire at a busy paid on call dept, and am full time for a Municipal EMS system. Its the best job on earth in my opinion, and you should stand a decent shot of getting on a full time fire dept due to Florida still hiring those positions unlike here.
In my opinion get your medic right away, you will stand a better chance at getting a job with it. Also dont stop there get a degree because alot of depts are looking for that now.
Sounds like your on the right track in life. You remind me of how I started. The skill will be a huge help post shtf and even in every day life. PM me your info if you want, I can help you if you need it when your going through class. Just let me know. Good luck brother!

thanks apssbc! I really appreciate it!

Vert I know it is probably a long time off but when you are done with the paramedic training you might consider taking a look at some of the tactical medic training schools (TEMS) that are around. They are a step up and will make you more marketable. The are a bunch of good programs. Good luck
What exactly are they?

Vert you need to gain all the knowledge as soon as you can because I think ( THE Bar & Grill ) is going to need your talents. Myself included.
Of course most of us will probably want to pay you in food and drinks when you're of legal age. Until then food and soda ; milk ; water ; tea.
I actually was pondering on that as well. I own my own business (been running for 14 years) and here comes the big BUT. If the SHTF I will need to know some needed basics to make myself valuable. I have checked out a few community colleges with the Certs.
Questions
1 How much are you able to 'legally' able to do. Or what are you not taught that would be needed?
2 If I understand correctly it is only 2 semesters. Is that correct?
