Hey everyone! My name is Theresa, I'm Jacksonville, FL. I'm in school for Forensics. I was turned onto the site by a fireman friend and so far so good. =) Happy Holidays to everyone!

Hi there lady from Jax florida

Is that forensic science? You aren't going to the ITT technical institute are you? I've seen ads for that place. If you are going there what do you think of it?

Have fun here at the city?

I worry that the stupid arse CSI shows are going to do the same thing to forensics that Turd Watch did to EMS. So many people are going to be attracted to the field by the completely unrealistic and melodramatic portrayal on television that it will soon become overpopulated. Forensic techs will become a dime a dozen, driving down both the salaries and the job opportunities.

Hey guys!!!

I've posted on a few threads now but I have yet to properly introduce myself. Obviously my name is Marcus which you could probably tell by my screen name. I am a Paramedic and work at a municipal 911 service in Oklahoma (non fire based) that probably serves about 10000 - 12000 people. I started my EMS journey back in 2002 and have done the fire service thing but found that I enjoy EMS a lot more. We average about 7 - 10 calls a shift (probably not a whole lot compared to most of you urban guys). Anyway see you around the forums!!! Later Gaters!!!

Hello. My name is Janice. I'm an EMT-B and I just recently published my book of memoirs as an EMT and a Deputy Coroner. I'm wondering if I'm permitted to give out the information as to how someone could get one if they wanted to buy one. In my book I've tried to express the toll this work takes on us, the side that the general public doesn't see. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated.

This seems to be a great site. Thanks!

Well Janice, that would be up to the Administrator. It's through his wisdom on what is and isn't allowed.

Sounds like you've done what I have always wanted to do. Good luck on sales.

Yea, now we can get back to putting the falsley acused in prison and to death again like they did before forensics. Maybe if they put spinner rims on the CSI Miamii Hummer H2 we can get all the gang bangers to solve the crimes too :twisted: You know, to save some time and money.
