Hi Joe! Thanks for requesting me. I'm looking forward to all kinds of new "friends" on this site. I've been checking it out since I got on and I really like it so far. Wendy

Hey, I looked at the comment after I responded to the friend request. Good luck to you too! Our instructor made it fun and really worked with us, he was a great cheerleader. W

Good luck with your EMT class.

When you study for the practical find people that are willing to help you first, then someone that has beening it a while and knows the steps when doing it by the "book" not the "street" way of doing it. Good Luck Brother!!!!!!!!!!!!

There can never be enough Brooks' in th biz!

Thanks, My boys love Rescue Heroes(hell I like them too)

I did not do search and rescue. I worked for a company in Death Valley that only dealt with fire, and maybe small medical emergencies. The National Park Service dealt with all search and rescue. I wanted to learn so now I am back in school, to finish what I started.

It's two weeks from nowhere in Eastern Oregon about next to the WA stateline.

Hi Joe thanks for your condolences, and for understanding. Please read my why i am here blog I do wish i had some search and rescue photos to put up but I just try to help and volunteer where i can. stay safe =)!
