    Thank you very much gassux. One of the paramedic programs seems like a good idea and I can definitely see how that would be marketable. Thanks.

    Thanks for the link Dan. I will look into it as I'd love to move up to Canada someday. How long about should I give an employer to respond to my application? I know these are basic questions but coming from the military it's a whole different world.

    Really didn't know NoDak was that good of money. What kind of jobs should I be looking for to get my foot in the door in an oilfield? Also what kind of pay can you expect in one of those starter type jobs?

    Of the years and people who have owned one of each..which year would you buy again? Why/Why Not? I had an LLY and aside from having IFS issues had very little issues out of the truck.
