-> Well.  The advisor tended to be really strict.  We had to be on-time for
-> meetings, attendance every week.  It was hard if we had band.  There were 
band
-> members from three different schools so the practice schedules are 
different.
-> They expected us to be at every campout, they didn't really like it if you 
had
-> to miss it due to a previous engagement.   It was really stressfull in the
-> amount of hours we had to put in.  (Espically with school stuff to worry 
about)
->  I don't remeber all that much on how long the courses took for us to 
complete
-> I took both of them in 94/95.  The advisor cut the amount of hours that we 
have
-> to be trained so it wouldn't be as long for us.  (not really supposed to).
Well, my advisors are not strict with being there when it comes with
Band or School.  I hope they will do something about the attendance,
what was the penalty in your Post?
-> We did the training during the regular meetings for the post.  One night a 
week
-> from 7-8:30.  It wasn't that bad.  They trained us using dummies. (adult 
and
-> infant) We had to read from books as "homework" for both the first 
responder
-> and CPR class.  We also had to make up these cards (on index cards) saying 
like
-> a type of illnes or allergy etc...  then on the other side the symptoms. 
also
-> they had us do type of notes on the cards too.
 We have weekly meeting or so.  And also started a little home work of
reading books and stuff.
-> The Explorer program is a co-ed Boy Scout program.  To be an Explorer 
Scout you
-> have to be between 14 and 21.  after that you can become a leader 
(advisor).
-> That's how the medical explorer post can work at boy scout camps and 
campouts
-> as the first-aiders.
Yup!
->You are in band?  So am I!  What instrument do you play?  I play the
->Flute/Piccolo and the Bassoon.  How long have you been in band?  This
is 
with being in band. -> Although I will only minor in music performance.
At this point I want to go -> through the pre-med, and major in Biology
(of Chemistry but, most likely not) -> then go to medical school.  I want
to become a doctor.  My Bio grades are good. ->  In Bio I, I got B's in
Bio II (Anatomy and Phys)  I recieved 2 B's in first -> semester and the
3rd quarter is ending tomorrow (3/26) and I have an A right -> now.  I'm
proud of myself :)  The Bio II books are college books.  So I'm ->
working at a college level class in terms of the work even though I only
get -> the high school credit.  But it's a really nice class. 
I am in the Band (not nexted year, but I will be for my Junior year).
So are you in high school or College?  I am high school.  And I plan to
become a paramedic and a Computer Programmer.  I am taking computer
programming now, that is why I am not in band next year, the reason is
that loss out band nexted or the year after that, so I chose this year.
