I just got the new 5.11 EMS pant, they are awesome, I love them. Check around and try them out.

I just the tests for the EMT-I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasnt as hard as I thought it would be. I got an 85 on the written and only missed 1 non-critical skill on the practical, (stupid trauma , I could have sworn I said the patient was responsive along with the breathing). Oh well, I got it. I'm now waiting on the License!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My other half asked me why we only have one snake on the rod in the EMS star of life. I said, straight faced, "We had to use the other one to start an IV." I got a blank look and then laughter.

I agree, every Ambulance needs an AED. The BLS rigs my company uses are all stocked with Lifepak 12's and everything you would need short of a drug box. Since any of our rigs could become an ALS truck in a heartbeat, we treat them all that way. As for the drug boxes, the medics all carry them on whatever truck they are on.
