That is correct. I WAS in the hospital. I got out of it. Needless to say I had some ethical issues with the way some things were handled at Shady Grove Hospital. During the snowstorms since I had some free time during the week, I basically became a traveling respiratory therapist during them at Suburban Hospital. It was perfect because they had a lot of trouble with staffing their building. It was all volunteer but I just felt like I needed to do something because I had the knowledge.Originally Posted by JoshMcMadMac
I believe I told you this before, but my dream has been to be a pilot. I went and got my Commercial License through CCBC in Baltimore flying helicopters. Now I'm getting into Metro Police in an attempt to join up in their flying program. Also, I always wanted to be apart of the military, and asthma has inhibited that. The Police Dept. is the closest I'm going to get I feel.
Flying is a career to me, not a job. The hospital was great because I helped people and felt great doing it, but to fly is my dream, and to get paid for it is just a benefit.
I will live in my parents basement and drive a 1981 Accord for the rest of my life as long as I can fly. Put it that way, haha!
I applied for Baltimore County, twice as a matter if fact! Never received and e-mail or a call. I applied to Park, Alexandria, Montgomery County, MD State, PG, and Metro was the first one to accept me. Park and Alexandria accepted me as well, but afterwards. I still haven't heard anything on MoCo, State, and PG, but I took their tests and passed.
Either way, I really wanted either Metro or State because of the flight programs, but I would've taken the first to accept me out of the whole bunch just to get in, then transfer. I have to do a year to 2 years on the ground before I can fly. They want you to experience the ground so you don't take it for granted what the guys are doing down below while you're in the air.
