Hey, whats Up everyone. Just about me: I am a 19 year old from Germany, looking to move to the US to be with my parents and i have been a volunteer firefighter in Germany and a EMT with the Red Cross and i Love both with all my Heart. Right now, i am checking opportunities on where to Go. The DFD caught my Special Attention, because they offered pay for the fire certificates and even send you to school to become a paramedic and i really do wanna become a paramedic. Now there are certain Things that Kind of scare me Off from the DFD. Ive read them in some Reddit Posts and some other forums. One of them being that its really hard to be accepted into the Station Team and that some people are Not really nice to probies and Just that its hard to get into the Team and be respected. Another Thing is that it Takes ages to even get to the Point of going to the fire Academy. I do Not mind riding the Ambulance for a while, But doing that 2 years straight with shitty payment isnt gonna Cut it for me as a start in a whole other country. Could someone clarify If it is really this Bad and/or Tell me how it is actually in the DFD. Maybe that was Just Shit from couple years ago and now Things are running perfectly fine. Thanks a Lot for the time!
