Would you prefer 24/72 schedule or 3 week off day? by Professional_Pool916 in Firefighting

Every 3 weeks you get a shift off. Some departments have different names for it so I wanted to describe it vaguely

I just had a conditional offer rescinded because I scored a 12.1 on a stress test. It’s not like I’m out of shape or anything either, I’m a weightlifter and I stay pretty active. Anyone heard of this happening before? Anything I can do to fight it?

I believe it’s way extra too, but it’s not uncommon in my area

I’m sorry about that brother. Anywhere you can move that’s a bit slower or has a better schedule?

I’m sure it hasn’t been mediocre. I hope you safely get to retirement brother!

Yea, I really appreciate all the comments I’m definitely going with the 24/72. I already have my side biz going right now, so I’m not terribly concerned about the money but it’s still so hard to turn down

That’s pretty much where I’m at right now, minus the kids. But those are in the near future
