Yea, with two little girls at home this gig is just not me. Yes, the money is great, I'll give you that but have come realize and often wonder "why I am here in the first place?". It started out I wanted to be high speed, in the trenches saving lives. Now, I realize being this far away from home, missing my children grow, missing those first steps and my wife wondering if I am okay, it really isn't worth it.

I do work with other medics that enjoy the job, but there are some of us that wish we were back home on the bus or in the air.

Glad to hear you are doing well over there, had a little taste myself but they shipped me here.

The food is better there.

Take care..
