Razor sir, you're absolutely right. Every reply I tried to think of came out sounding petty and selfish and most of them involved the word "fair." We're given an amazing amount of independence in our medical techniques, much more so than a paramedic in the civilian world. Would I rather be a paramedic or an 18D? No comparison. But regardless, here's the scoop from SOMTB. Just went in and found the civilian POC for SOCM who is working with the NR. As of the latest class who just finished SOCM, they did not take the NREMT-P. However, things are definitely in the works to change this back to the way things were a few years ago. Right now they're waiting on authorization to have the students challenge the test on their own, then the next step will be to move the testing back to the schoolhouse. So that's the word, but following what Razor said, we really have nothing to complain about.
