I have great news. After a year of testing and interviewing and testing and interviewing, I have finally recieved my first job as a Firefighter/Paramedic here in San Diego County!

I think I will celebrate with a Monte Platinum or a RP Vintage.

Just thought I would share my joy.

Thanks for listening.

Congrats - my little bro has been a medic and then firefighter for 12 years - he loves it.

Thank you for all your wishes. That is really nice.

bassdude: I know the feeling, I have been a paramedic 3 1/2 years and finally decided what I want to do.

Great day to everyone!

Engineer/Medic 13yrs for Clark county Fire here in vegas. Congrats rookie.

Lance

Congrads! One of my neighbors is an EMT and we live in a quiet little burb. His motto is "Sleep 'till you're hungry, eat 'till you're tired."

He works (or should I say is on duty) 48 hrs straight Fri through Sunday then has the rest of the week off. Not a bad gig if you ask me. But then again I couldn't deal with the bood and guts, or the whiney "I need attention so I called 911."

I do love to hear the stories of how stupid the general population is though. Guess you get all kinds when you work in public service.

Lance,

Clark County thats pretty hot. But its dry right? My last medic intern got a job with AMR in Vegas, he loves it.

Thanks for the congrats

Rookie

I thought you were going to say that you saved a ton of money on your car insurance by switching to Geico.

Regardless, congrats.

Too funny Ryan 😮

Congrats Derek!

Congrats from an "old geezer" retired truck Captain. Been away from it 13 years and I still miss it sometimes.

Stay safe.

Well done!

Messier, where were you a truck captain? I didnt know there were firemen on this forum, any advice for a new guy?

Oh ya, I also saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!

Great, thanks Rug!

Congrats! Be careful out there!

Way to go Derek! A great job and there and you will serve it well, I am sure!
