hello all! I agree with you guys. I am an emt basic and a member of the USCG and I think an exercise program is a great idea for any job that may be strenuous as some point, even if it's not every call. I am at a small boat station and we are pretty much ambulance on water during the summer. I hope that the civilian sector willl soon realize the need for endurance and health like the military already does. Good luck guys and don't get down....keep up the good work.
