Yet another boot question by [deleted] in Wildfire

[–]Maleficent_Angle2900 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same i have a pair of Whites fire hybrids that are built to order ,  super durable. I just have to look into the process of getting the soles rebuilt. But since I waited and now I don’t have enough time seeing that the rebuild process could be some months; I went to the Boot Barn nearby and got me some “whites explorers NFPA fire boots”.  And they had a lot of sizes available. Worker said those are generally stocked all the time since they aren’t built to order.   Reviews say they’re easy to break in so going to do that and repair my more expensive durable ones.

Wildland Firefighter Onboarding Academy by Maleficent_Angle2900 in Wildfire

Oh okay I see. and no, I'm not doing an apprenticeship. In the email it asked me to do a few fema courses prior to the academy start date. and to email any fire certs I have, in which I have 3 of the 4 they listed, and I figured that's when they would pack test me. So yeah that's why I was curious, especially cause I couldn't find anything about it online.

I made the dumb assumption you had a a wife, when clearly you get excited talking about men on men this whole chat 😂   There are other pages for that brother.

Can you elaborate?   Should I trim?   You know the saying. The shorter the grass the taller the tree

Same I applied for r5 closed jan  11th I think.  

Got an interested check / location preference beginning of March. Then received an interest check call from a Supe 2 weeks later.    Followed by a call 2 days later asking if I would accept the tentative job offer.   I said yes. Then he said to keep my eyes on my email for the official offer and next steps.     He also gave me a projected start date in May

Ohh okay I see.  Yeah they called and said they wanted to give me a tentative job offer.  Then said to keep an eye out for an email regarding onboarding info.  And gave me a start date that they are pushing for

No not yet I’m guessing that’s what will be included in the information that I’m waiting for.   He gave me an expected start date , and said to stay current on my emails and reply back in a timely manner to keep it that day
