p3medic Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Good luck kid, but when you find out God is just like the Easter Bunny and Santa, don't say I didn't warn you. Just kidding, best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard B the EMT Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 As somebody already mentioned, you CAN do both fire fighting, EMS, and the ministry. I used to work with a Roman Catholic Nun who also taught at the local diocesan school, and still rode with my volunteer ambulance, where I met her in the first place. Going around religious lines (I'm Jewish, by the way), many in the EMS field consider it (EMS) their own calling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don1977 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well dude, good luck to ya. I do not see why they can not both be accomplished...why do you think they are not compatiable? I have been on departments that had clergy affiliated with us. They responded to big scenes, offered counseling to anyone that needed it, etc etc. Several of them were crosstrained as medics and firefighters and there were times they bunkered up and went to work. While I do not agree with it, one department had a priest on the payroll. This was several years ago and the position may be eliminated by now, however there are plenty of opportunities for you to do both and do both well. I have enjoyed your presence since day one, you are a bright, inquisitive young man who I think has the right idea and best of intentions...once you get over your whacker phase. Anyways, I think you should hang around, consider all options and rule nothing out, as you have many, many years ahead of you before such life changing decisions need to be solidified. You can play with Hot Wheels and Matchbox at the same time...so....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
