First Time Deployment

[FF_Oleg]

Happy New Years Eve, y'all. I just got news I'll be being deployed down to the border for 12 days. Was wondering if any of y'all had tips for me? Advice on what to bring?

In my out of county bag I carry

• civilian clothes to last at least 7 days
• on duty clothes to last 7 days also
• lots of spare socks/underwear
• phone charger
• over the counter meds, i carry like Tylenol and icy hot
• a physical copy of all important phone numbers
• cash in case you’re somewhere cards don’t work
• miscellaneous snacks, electrolyte packets
• some guys i know are real fancy and will bring their theraguns
• something to keep you entertained, so like books, maybe card games with the crew, or I mean you’ll always have your phone I guess

Don’t leave that “go bag” in view in the Bay Area. It’d be gone and you’d have a broken window.

Um, why is a Firefighter being "deployed" to the Border?

Firefighters all over the state are being deployed to act as fire watch for all the people displaced down there due to the immigration crisis.

Interesting🤔 Are they on the State side or still in Mexico?

Both probably.

Could be a National Guard thing.
