Im finally doing it! Im finally getting into the Academy. I start Jan 30, 2011. Ive been talking about it for years and finally decided it was time.
Quick Question:
The Fire Academy im attending instructs up to EMT-B, but has a seperate curriculum based Paramedic course. Should I wait to join a department before taking the Paramedic Course, or join and try and fit school in on the side. I know many departments have varying schedules like 24 on, 24 off which might make it hard to attend classes. What would you do?
Side Note:
I just bought a pair of Globe Technical boots for the Academy after reading some of the awesome reviews on here. Im the kind of person who likes doing things right the first time. I wanted a boot that would last me through the academy during non-interior attack drills and well into my career. These boots seem to have the best reviews. We shall see.
