Congrats on finishing Rescue!
For me the course that seemed most strenuous was Ice Diver. After we cut the hole and dragged the ice chunks out of the way, I ached for about three days... The time in water waswelcome respite for my aching muscles...
Ice and Rescue were my two favourite courses though.
I don't have to worry much dragging ice when my gimpiness is well known at my shop!

I've taught multiple folks to shot, mostly gals. The husbands have had ill luck teaching them, and their jaws drop when their wives bring home targets with a hole shot out in the center. I have very good luck and a lot of fun teaching them.
But I won't become a firearms instructor for the same reason I won't become a DM. Liability issues and I don't want bureaucratic BS mixed up in something I enjoy.
