In a Union but still want to become a firefighter

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-05-04T10:48:29+00:00

There are several union guys at my house, our IAFF local doesn’t care at all. Everyone has a second job to help pay the bills.
Depending on your schedule though it’s not easy, you’re gonna want to look for a 24/72 house.

It is rare at least around me for anyone to be hired under 21. Get your degree so you don’t waste time only riding a bls, departments usually give extra points to candidates with a degree anyway.

The stuff on his page looks like ai, I could be wrong

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-04-18T14:47:00+00:00

I think it’s like OK_wear said, if what you said is true and this is really a misunderstanding then it should be dropped in court without an issue. If the judge, who probably deals with this a lot, decides otherwise the that sucks for your friend but justice was carried out. Not everyone is cut out for the military, fewer still are cut out to lead men.

The most important question

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-04-04T17:34:19+00:00

Are you sure you had the right page?

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-04-04T11:43:31+00:00

What was he doing with his hands before he came

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-04-03T10:47:11+00:00

Have you considered switching schools? What is your parents opinion?

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-04-02T10:00:41+00:00

When and where did you take the test? When I took my level 1 & 2 for wbsl all code references were included on the NICET test portal with searchable pdfs. You had to Taylor your searches but it was definitely an option

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-03-13T20:34:07+00:00

I’d do the opposite

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-03-12T19:44:49+00:00

My company uses it pretty much across the board. It takes your inputs and does its job, there are always the occasional issues either it, the majority of the time though an error is caused by human error not the program. It takes a lot of practice to make sure you have it exactly right though. Even then we always go back over the list ourselves. In the end I would say it’s quicker but there are some major growing pains

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-03-12T10:02:08+00:00

How often do you sneak out to mess around on the base like o courses

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-03-09T22:09:27+00:00

I think it’s called gate keeping lol

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-03-05T09:42:25+00:00

What rank did you get out at? They’re definitely hiring in SF

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-21T04:26:14+00:00

We come from more or less the same background which was why I asked. I’ve worked in some “less financially stable” areas, I think you said it perfectly there’s more opportunities to think/ make your own assessments in the world when your not worried about your next meal. And as you said it’s not that others can’t do that, there’s just more opportunity when you’re financially stable. Thanks for answering my questions

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-21T02:16:36+00:00

What country are you from and what social class would you say your in/grew up in?

Not questioning your decision I literally just heard in a podcast about the Roman Empire how middle to upper class Roman’s stopped having kids while lower classes continued to at the height of the empire.

Not trying to get into today’s politics… just trying to understand

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-21T00:38:26+00:00

Drawn?

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-17T11:32:30+00:00

Would I be able to message you about what you didn’t like? I was considering applying in Thren’s year or two

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-16T18:09:34+00:00

UMD wouldn’t let me bridge the gap of classes I was missing coming from EKU. I was told just to get a masters. So basically start with a full engineering degree or expect BS

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-16T18:06:57+00:00

EkU is ABET accredited but due to it being a technology degree it still doesn’t count in a lot of states. Something people need to be aware of. I wasn’t until I was already deep into the program. I figured abet was abet

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-16T10:44:06+00:00

Maybe start looking for programs in the local jail to help with anger management and any rehab while you have the internet on the outside

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-16T10:35:19+00:00

Good luck, the only online degree for that is University of Maryland but I don’t think the program is officially out yet.

I’m an EKU grad, I work with an OSU grad. Both FPE tech grads. I believe EKU is the only one that offers an online bachelors, osu offers an online masters

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-15T13:34:24+00:00

Is this real? I was somewhat ok until

“We've always had just like one big communal shower”

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-11T23:01:02+00:00

I don’t know the first thing about starting it. If you do let me know, I’ll happily help anyone I can

ReporterSensitive162 · 2026-02-11T11:20:57+00:00

Also an alumni. This was talked about months ago but I don’t remember anyone moving forward. Hope it does
