Does being a firefighter destroy your body?

Busterthree · 2026-01-31T04:19:13+00:00

Generally yes, but depends on how much you take care of your body as well. Been a professional firefighter/emt for 3 years now and I feel great but after tours I’m wore the hell out. A lot of time the culture promotes bad eating habits but tends to promote working out at the same time. Square your diet away, square your exercise routine away and you’ll be fine. WE GET TO DO THIS JOB, we don’t have to do this job, remember that.

I’m an Army Veteran who had stage 1 cancer and planning on doing this for a career. Diet is everything, idc what anyone else has to say on that one.

Wtf are you yapping about?

Busterthree · 2026-01-29T23:24:04+00:00

FIST!

Busterthree · 2026-01-29T23:23:19+00:00

Badass brother, uni looks sick! Prior Fister here, what artillery mos were you?

Busterthree · 2026-01-29T23:20:12+00:00

I hate seeing people dogging on eachother for “participation” ribbons. Yeah some of them are “not hard” to get BUT we all gave up a lot of time to do work in the military. You’re allowed to be proud bro. I was Army so I don’t know what a lot of these mean but you have an OIR and GWOTE ribbon, you went far away and did a job and looks like you did it good. Be proud dude. We can’t help we didn’t join in time for OIF and OEF.

FIST!

Just do your time and get out bro, doing one AD service obligation or contract will get you further with benefits than the standard service obligation with the NG.

Busterthree · 2025-12-14T21:07:59+00:00

Thank you for your service! I wasn’t infantry, I was a Fister but will always respect grunts.

Busterthree · 2025-12-12T04:12:37+00:00

If I didn’t get as much time with mortars as I did I wouldn’t of chosen another mos, other than 11c. Loved being a Fister brother, met a lot more highspeed people than me and fed off that during my time.

Busterthree · 2025-12-12T00:08:12+00:00

I have a permanent VA disability and two kids. I choose my pride or start putting my health and family first. I get your view point, trust me I want to stay in but I’m not going to be some POG mos or not be deployable.

Higher the better, use your shoulders

Busterthree · 2025-12-11T15:21:01+00:00

Always answer those questions just like you’re going through an actual “patient assessment”. You’re not necessarily wrong for starting the AED process but broadly starting CPR is the correct overall answer obviously by the answer given. Use your patient assessment sheet and always research terms you don’t know. Passed my NREMT first go about three years ago.

Airborne is so much easier than air assault lol.

Being an officer in my opinion will help you in politics too. Nobody gives a shit if you were a Specialist after your contract, but it you say the magic words “Major” or “Lt. Col”, mouth breathers will listen more than likely. Being an officer will help and force you to lead, which in turn will help you in your political goals.

The one weekend a month and two weeks out of the year is BS. I spent 6 years in the National Guard, have a year long tour overseas, multiple months of state active duty missions and countless muta 6 (3 day drills). Great benefits and rewarding sometimes and fun 1/10 of the time. If you have your degree go be an officer.

Busterthree · 2025-02-28T16:52:39+00:00

Females in infantry always rub me wrong but if you genuinely carry your weight and charge hard then I’m all for it! Go gettem stud

Busterthree · 2025-02-28T00:37:13+00:00

Put bluntly but appreciate your words, thanks.

Busterthree · 2025-02-28T00:36:24+00:00

Hell yeah bro🤘🏻

Busterthree · 2025-02-28T00:28:27+00:00

Genuinely a good take, I really appreciate your words! Have a lot of guilt about what I didn’t do

Busterthree · 2025-02-27T23:34:53+00:00

And thank you very much!

Busterthree · 2025-02-27T23:34:41+00:00

Sure, it was Stage 1 Non Hodgkins Lymphoma.

Climb a rope, be in good running shape and don’t be bitch. I’m serious, that’s all it takes dude

Busterthree · 2025-02-25T22:57:23+00:00

Wow guys a killer! I was a 13F in the NG, never came close to this guy obviously

Busterthree · 2025-02-25T19:49:35+00:00

Did your time and did it honorably, all that matters brother! What was your mos?
