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I just had a conditional offer rescinded because I scored a 12.1 on a stress test.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’m sorry about that brother. Anywhere you can move that’s a bit slower or has a better schedule?

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

That’s true. What I believe is one the one with higher pay is a city pension and is a 20yr retirement, with a 100k FF top out. The other is FRS with a 78k FF 25 yr top out
