I'm considering joining the local sherif's search and rescue team but I do not know what to expect beyond what I see on paper. Can someone tell me about the intagibles?
Thank you in advance!

There are alot of benefits. Besides the training and learning new skills you do get the adrenaline rush from saving lives. Knowing that you make a difference and are helping others is a great high.
Downsides are that all the necessary training takes time and some people don't find out until they come across their first raccoon nibbled on corpse that its not what they were looking for when they signed on.
Between taking classes, drills and teaching I put in around 400 hours a year. IT takes desire and wanting to do it, but after your first save you'll be hooked for life.

I have never done volunteer search and rescue, but I considered doing it a few years ago and I did a lot of research. You get some great training and experience (especially if you want to go into law enforcement, fire, paramedic, etc.) and it is a big highlight for future employers on a resume. The downside is that very few people have a job (or school scheduel) that allows them the freedom to leave for possibly days at a time. You have to be able to drop everything at time of the day and night and go. It can be a rewarding experience, but for some people (like me) thier work and school situations just won't allow it. Good luck to you if you decided to do it!

There are many positive's and negative's. Some of the Positives are it's very rewarding when you go on a call out and you find the person or people safe and alive. On the downside you will also respond to a lot of the more major car accidents and it won't be a pretty picture. You will see a lot of bloodshed, due to some of the accidents you will have to respond to. Unless you don't think you can handle the negatives don't let them keep you from joining the SRT. I've found that the positives far outweigh the negatives.

its a rewarding experience i was a volley fire man for 8 years. its important to make all the trainings. what you do really makes a difference. its physical labor and you do put yourself in a position that could cost you your life. be sure you are willing to give up your life in behalf of another. you are making a choice not only yourself but as well as your team mates that will trust you and the patient. over all it is a lot of fun and an exciting field to get into.
