Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I found it very exciting, and rewarding, and I enjoyed learning, and helping my fellow firefighter accomplish their education.
Thank you William. I appreciate the kind gesture. I would love for you to help me. Nice to have someone local, more familiar with the area prerequisites. I am also a member of firelink.com. That website has help me alot as well. Thats usually were I spend most of my time. BUt, now that I have found this website, I know I will be spending alot of time here as well..
Hello Denise, Madeira beach, Kenneth city...You need to start working on your upper body, and some leg exercises. By your photo you do have a lot of upper body strength, and you will need this just to be an EMT. Eat a lots of carbs and the right carbs, and workout, not mush running, start slow with the weights. Go to the gym find a trainer and tell him or her your what you want to accomplish, the best help for you would to be friend a woman firefighter, she can help you. Be safe. Billy
I, for some reason don't see your email adress for this wedsite.Or, even an email thumbnail. I recently started working to get pre prepared for my future endeavors I just started off running a mile, then doing some upper body exc as well as situps. Yes. I did start off with smaller weights. As for a personal trainer, I can't afford one. But, a good friend of mine seems to know alot about it, so he helps me a lot, which I'm thankfull for.. Also, I'm very thankfull for all your help as well. my email address is luocean23@yahoo.com
Thank you so much for the comment! Oh, do you work for the ACFD? That's actually where I hope to work after graduation, if my plans go accordingly. Do you like the area? My good friend Taylor is from Arlington, and I know he loves it.
Hi Meris, No, I do not work for a department anymore, I am retired from the Tampa Bay area, located in Florida. I came up here to complete a Masters program, and just finished. I am not looking for employment at a state training agency, university or community college, has a director/coordinator or instructor. I like it up here and the area is really nice, there are a lot of things to do. I do not know many people, so It can be a little lonely. Thanks for responding back, to me. How far is your station from Arlington. I am most of the time on-line so you can find me. Take care Billy
