Your tips are solid, sensible and no-nonsense. I've been having trouble with gun recoil and that terrible flinching habit. I think your tip on focusing on the gun, and not on actually firing it, really makes sense. What usually happens is, I anticipate the sound and the feel of the gun going off before it actually does, so most of the time, I end up squeezing the gun, firing with both eyes closed or with my head swerved a bit to the side.

Hopefully we'll be in the same class. It is good to hear it is full, I think I'm the only one from my Basic class that is going on. I think tonight is the night I'm going to tell my class about the podcast. I've kept it a secret until now.

I think it will be evening. I am on a waiting list, but talked to Drees and he said he thought I could get in the evening classes. I am going up there today to talk to him. I love Atascocita Fire Dept. AFD is both fire and EMS under one roof. There are 3 stations and EMS runs out of 2 of them. Station 1 and station 2. The people there are great. It really is like another family. I would be happy to introduce you to anyone you would like and help you get through the NEOP process. (New Employee Orientation Process). It all starts with an application. I can pick one up for you or you can pick one up at station 1. If you pick one up you will want to talk to Mary Anne Sokol. She will help you out. Your go to guy in the beginning will be Sean Conley. He is the EMS Clinical Maganger. AFD would be happy to have you. Again, let me know if you need anything. Colleen PS. Atascocita just introduced a new volunteer incintive program. They will reimberse you for your tution. I don’t know if I am in the evening or day. I think it will be evening.

I'm in the evening. I live in Kingwood, so Atascocita was at the top of my list of places to volunteer. Can you tell me what it is like? Colleen:

I will be doing the Paramedic Degree Program. I cant believe I found your blog. I was looking up "characteristics of a great paramedic". Love your essay. I won't bore you with mine. I have been a Basic for 2 years. I am almost 40 with a family and volunteer with Atascocita and Crosby. I am catching up on all of your podcasts. I love Kelley Grayson. Saw him at a conference last year. Hope to see you around and be of any help. Although I can see you have things covered. I am starting school at North Harris in a couple of weeks.

Most people buy guns saying it may be helpful for self-defense later on. But, actually, they really haven't thought about what it's like to actually use a gun to defend yourself and your loved ones. It isn't as simple as it sounds. Really great post! Every gun owner should be aware of these. Most people buy guns saying it may be helpful for self-defense later on.

Really great post!

You guys have a really decent show! It is kind of unusual to be learning so much from a pod cast. Did the truck driver live? The one who got blasted off the tanker with the chicken guts in it - from the first episode you guys did. I was also curious why a blood pressure reading has two numbers, like “seventy over eighty”. A tuck/car has one needle inside the oil pressure gauge, not two. What do those numbers mean? ~Aaron I think the comment section might be broke on http://www.emsnewbie.com and http://www.emsnewbie.com/podcast/ gets a 404 error.

I is so true I'm too worried about lighting to notice the hotness. Thanks AD I hadn’t thought about the first that way. I is so true I’m too worried about lighting to notice the hotness.
