future EMT

Hi all,

I've done a long career in teaching/military, and thinking about what to do with my spare time in 18 months once my kids leave the house.  I did a ridealong and volunteering in the local EMS unit seems like it could be really rewarding.  I don't want to take the EMT course quite yet - I want to spend the remaining time I can with my kids while they're still around - but I've found a great course offered where I teach that I'll take next year once empty nest arrives, and in the meantime I'd like to poke around and see what those with experience say about the career, especially as a volunteer.  I'm a bit concerned that as a 50 yo volunteer I'll never gain the patient volume to have the experience that would make me a great provider, but my local unit has some experienced people to help me along the way.
