A not so subtle distinction.

Austin-Travis County EMS has a three-unit Water Rescue team. To work in EMS rescue one has to be an EMT, of course.

It could work though. All you would have to do is give Hemlon a month's notice on when you plan on searching for something. That would give her enough time to find cheap air fare, find a hotel, and take time off work.
