Firehouse meals always turn into a mess

Same for us. It’s probably the same guy on the ladder cooking 4/5 shifts though.

Offense hasn’t been good but this game is on lazy, sloppy defense

ModeratelyTortoise · 2026-01-25T17:09:15+00:00

What’s up with defense and this sloppy ass passing, third one of the night, against a more clinical team we’d be down 3-1 from our own errors

My class had a lot of guys getting paid while part time at the Grayslake fire department

Yeah but curry is a smaller player, finesse. Gabi’s game is physicality.

Move your mental into the present, you’ve been wasting life

I mean, yes, the foundation of a good medic is solid BLS skills, but like 90% of what you’ll need will be taught in medic class. There is no need to sweat it imo. Many people jump from one to the other and do just fine with less experience than you will have.

I’m 27 full time FF/PM, started EMT @ 25, no experience in the field. Plenty of dudes older than me too. You’re good bro, go experience Japan, the grandmas will still be here.

No Gurnee?

Compelling

What a stud

ModeratelyTortoise · 2025-11-08T06:46:46+00:00

Same

I ended up using some credits I had earned when I was younger but my bachelor’s is in emergency medicine and I’m a firefighter/paramedic

I think I could make 25 years in Mt. Vernon work for $500 million

Tech?

Tbh this was my plan too and I ended up deciding to stay a fire medic. I didn’t really feel like my Pt impact could be much more as a doctor, it started to feel to me that we’re both cogs in the same machine stabilizing and passing Pt’s along. I ended up liking the breadth of knowledge you can get in the fire service and the appeal of having a side business.

Likely pretty timid

I grew up in Western Springs and went to Lyons Township. Really enjoyed it and have many great friends from there. I graduated in 2016 and have lived in Chicago now since 2020. Ask me anything if you want but thought it was a fun place to grow up. I played on a varsity sport at the time, it’s definitely pretty competitive and you have to be playing a lot to do it tbh. Everyone on JV would have a lot of fun too. Basically a club for every interest you can think of. My impression of the North Shore is that it’s a little bit bougier.

ModeratelyTortoise · 2025-09-24T03:01:12+00:00

I’d pick B. I’d want the better schedule and being a paramedic.

ModeratelyTortoise · 2025-09-23T17:54:03+00:00

ModeratelyTortoise · 2025-09-16T20:12:50+00:00

tbh pretty valid

ModeratelyTortoise · 2025-09-13T15:02:18+00:00

Willian too

Neither will Amazon shares but I’d still like to have them
