00:49.220 --> 00:51.109
education and treatment process .

00:54.099 --> 00:55.932
It made me want to join the Army

00:55.932 --> 00:58.099
Reserve is I've always had a drive and

00:58.099 --> 01:00.321
a passion for helping people , but I've

01:00.321 --> 00:59.900
always been interested in the medical

00:59.909 --> 01:03.400
field . There are many educational

01:03.409 --> 01:05.409
benefits in the Army Reserve . I've

01:05.409 --> 01:07.409
taken advantage of utilizing my G I

01:07.409 --> 01:09.465
bill to get some college course work

01:09.465 --> 01:11.465
out of the way . I've also utilized

01:11.465 --> 01:13.631
those educational benefits in the form

01:13.631 --> 01:15.409
of the Army Corp program to get

01:15.409 --> 01:15.199
reimbursement for technical

01:15.209 --> 01:17.376
certification such as my flight permit

01:17.376 --> 01:21.169
and certification . When I'm not in

01:21.180 --> 01:23.402
uniform . On the civilian side , I work

01:23.402 --> 01:25.402
as a full time career , firefighter

01:25.402 --> 01:27.569
paramedic , a part time paramedic in a

01:27.569 --> 01:29.736
busy city , a part time paramedic in a

01:29.736 --> 01:31.791
rural environment and part time as a

01:31.791 --> 01:35.110
flight paramedic , the reserve allows

01:35.120 --> 01:37.064
me to balance both my civilian and

01:37.064 --> 01:40.220
military career . I am normally working

01:40.230 --> 01:42.809
my day to day civilian job and building

01:42.819 --> 01:45.129
my civilian career and credentials and

01:45.139 --> 01:47.540
networking until it's time for me to

01:47.550 --> 01:51.050
perform my military duties . My job is

01:51.059 --> 01:53.115
important because we help save lives

01:53.115 --> 01:55.226
and help get people from one place to

01:55.226 --> 01:57.115
another so that their life can be

01:57.115 --> 01:59.281
prolonged from what we can even do for

01:59.281 --> 02:01.448
them and eventually going back home to

02:01.448 --> 02:00.430
their families .
