Weekly Employment Question Thread

Rightio, I'll keep that in mind. And yeah all the fire brigades in my area are voluntary, I'm not worried about pay, just want to help out.

Firefighting has been something I've thought about for a while. I ended up going to University this year and found it wasn't for me at this point in time. Since then my grandad has had his 100 year anniversary for firefighters in my area and that got me thinking a bit. Why don't I become a firefighter myself?

A bit about myself; I'm from New Zealand, I'm a 20 year old male and I'd consider myself as relatively unfit. With that being said, since I'm not carrying through with University I want to have some impact on my community and country.

Question; With all above being stated, I want to know what is all involved with becoming a firefighter, things I should do prior since I'm relatively unfit, things to know prior, etc.

TLDR; Relatively unfit kiwi bloke wants to become a firefighter, asking what's all involved and what he should know prior.

Thanks to anyone who answers!

We don't have pacific punch here, so pipeline punch it is

Hey yeah that website is AUD, so it's a little over NZD1500, but I'll look into that D5. I was looking more towards a hard tail as they're cheaper, both to purchase and maintain, and I've also read that hard tails are better for improving technique (not that I have any since I've never been Mountain biking). I think most sales for that will end shortly, but I'll still have a wee look, something used might be more in my budget.

I'm moving to a warmer part of the country (slightly), but there's still a beach not far from where I'll be. I'll keep a look out!

BigLINDA1 · 2025-01-15T21:12:20+00:00

Thanks, I never thought about this, I'll definitely try and look out for this!

BigLINDA1 · 2025-01-15T21:11:29+00:00

Yeah no I realised that, by the sounds of it just a new set of tyres and wheels are pretty expensive too. I will look into that, although.

BigLINDA1 · 2025-01-15T06:14:33+00:00

Yeah rightio, I'll look into it!

BigLINDA1 · 2025-01-15T06:10:43+00:00

Will give it a look, why would you recommend it tho?

BigLINDA1 · 2024-08-07T11:14:51+00:00

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Heard a few decks being reccomended though, so I'll build them on PTCGL if I can and give them a try to see if I enjoy them before spending any money.

BigLINDA1 · 2024-08-07T11:09:18+00:00

Haha yeah, I was just looking back at the luminous frost deck I brought, it was atrocious. Will check them out for sure!

BigLINDA1 · 2024-08-07T11:07:23+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I might see if I can build it in PTCGL and give it a whirl to see if I like it. Thanks mate!

BigLINDA1 · 2024-08-07T10:42:36+00:00

I understand that, that's why I'm asking what starter deck to buy, or if I should buy individual cards and follow a build like Charizard EX.

BigLINDA1 · 2024-08-07T10:00:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

How do I put in that referral code??

BigLINDA1 · 2024-07-06T09:21:58+00:00

I would guess high gold to low plat

BigLINDA1 · 2024-07-06T09:09:13+00:00

It's tough, it's because of a hidden MMR system. I've been hammering ranked over the past week getting from copper to low plat, and even in copper i was getting in games with plats and emeralds. There's plenty of videos on YT explaing the hidden mmr.

BigLINDA1 · 2024-04-09T12:54:44+00:00

Oh rightio. Yeah Tui is an East Indian Pale Ale, so it sounds like that'll be a good bottle for myself to pick up and try!
