I'm a Tac Medic with a 35 man team covering ~120k residents, non-sworn. We keep a doc in the armored vehicle and I make entry with the team.

Let men see, let them know, a real man, who lives as he was meant to live.

Full time firefighter paramedic. Our PD put the word out that they wanted a medic on SWAT. I applied and got it, went to basic SWAT, train 10 hours per month with the team and go on every call as entry, etc. whatever the assignment may be. I carry the medic gear and am the "doc" (insurance policy) just in case. It is the best kept secret job there is. People never get it. It's always hard to explain.
"Wait, I thought you were a fireman? What? Are you a cop then? What?"
The worst part is the sh*t you get from other jealous firefighters who hate you cuz they aint you. Just tell them, "You're either SWAT or you're not......and you're not".
I am still pursuing the degree in paramedic refresher course and will apply for the job in a month. Would love to serve my job at the earliest.
