Mike, it's hard to say something like, "In no place..." unless you have been to every place.

I found this one at Amazon ... an excellent quality bag or any price, but priced very low.

Everywhere I have ever known of uses / used it as "in service" or "back in service"

Yea, I know. Just seemed to be a fitting title.

Hello, all.. I was an EMT before some of you were born. But, I wasn't ready for the job, so I got out before some of you were born! I worked for a public EMS provider. We ran seven trucks in a medium metro area (about 350,000 people). Working 24/48, we would run about 30 calls per shift. So, after a little while, I realized the job, the timing and I didn't work out. So I got out of it. Now, I am living in a much smaller area - about 20,000 people in my county. Anyway, there have been a lot of changes in my life, including the addition of a new help - Jesus. Well, after some years, some growth and some Bible college, I am thinking about trying to start a Chaplaincy for our local EMS. I am also working toward getting all the certs back and pulling a few shifts here and there. That's the nutshell.

Waaaaay back when (I used the ole Lifepak 5), I started with one of those big gawky leather pouches with everything, including a kitchen sink. Now, I have an O2 wrench tied to a pair of shears, gloves, my stethoscope (I don't like to share), my pen (which only gets touched by my bare hand), several throwaway pens for everyone else to use, the HT, my drivers license and the biggest maglight I can find (people ask why I carry a maglight at noon - we can't carry weapons).
