Hi Chris,
-> worked about 1 year for Rural/Metro of Dallas (mostly transfers, but
-> filled in for 911 shifts when they asked me). I left R/M because of
R/M runs the service in Borger.  If I were to try to get on with a paid
service, that's probably where I'd start looking. Borger is a town of
about 20,000 just NE of Fritch (10 miles).  I did some of my student
runs with them.  The next nearest paid service is in Amarillo.
-> I'll have to look up your town on a map. I'm not familiar with the
-> panhandle at all. Just had a cousin move to Lamesa, and two cousins
-> live in Lubbock, but that's about it. Pretty bad, since I live'd in
-> Odessa for 18 years and in Texas for 26! Hehe.
Look for Lake Meridith right in the middle of the Panhandle.  It's kinda
wrapped around Fritch.  Never been to Lamesa, but I spent a summer in
Lubbock about 20 years ago when I was in college and my roomate all the
time I was in college was from Kermit, not too far from Odessa.  Went to
a Heart concert there once .
-> I thought if you gave a self-addressed-stamped-envelope to your
-> testing site when you tested, they would send you an unofficial test
-> result within a week. Or, is that just for paramedics? Oh, well. Be
-> sure and let us know when you pass! (Positive thinking here!)
They didn't say anything about a SASE, but they did say that return
times would only be 10 days to two weeks.
The positive thinking must have worked, because my wife just walked in
with the mail and my certificate was in there!  Hallelujah!!!
Later,
Mark
