Rich Repas replied to CHIEF NORMAN's discussion 'Getting Back to Basics: Nozzles & Hose Streams'

About Me:
Started when I was 15 as an Explorer. Loved it so when I turned 18 I decided to try the EMT thing to help get a career job. Did that for 2 years, learned to love it. Its my full-time gig right now. I'm a precepter for my EMT job as well as an EMT-instructor's aid (for now). After the 2 years of EMS experience I became a Volunteer firefighter where I've been trying to take every course under the sun to learn as much as I can. And thats where we are at now. 8 years later.
