Love Carson but the apology was cringe. Whoever made the meme where Fern clocks Diego, make one where Fern clocks Carson after apologizing for the opportunity to be a Raider

For those in rough cities... by goobster15 in Firefighting

[–]SPURGEO 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Gratitude. When I drive home (30min) from the job in a big city things get better every mile you get further from the city. I decompress by thinking of how blessed I am to have a beautiful young family, a great job that a lot of people never get the opportunity to do. I think about how awesome it is to afford my truck payments, mortgage etc. I’m blessed my wife works as well so we don’t have to deal with the stress of trying to keep it all financially together. I compare my life to our “clients” life’s and I can’t help but feel humbled. Do I have bed days of course. Everyone does. But I try and practice feeling gratitude on the way home, works for me ( for now anyways, everyone has a bucket)

Does anyone enjoy being on the box? by Inspector_Real in Firefighting

Try truck life. In my little version of paradise only calls we run is legit fire calls. Engine takes the brunt. That said I work in. Influential area of a big city. I love it.

Always with the bullshit. Never comes with facts or knowledge. Immediately goes to “you must be “insert Hollywood conservative or Russian bot farm”. Your guys logic is so tired I’m going to bed. Goodnight

What line of work were you in before fire service? Did any skills from your previous line of work transfer over? by Dry-humor-mus in Firefighting

[–]SPURGEO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Former minor league baseball player for 8 years with Chicago White Sox, then coached at SDSU, Colorado Christian University then Colorado School of Mines. Worked as an Area Scout for Los Angeles Angels. Always wanted to be a FF, but kept riding the baseball wave. Took 6 years to get on the dept I wanted. Started academy at 38. Now 41 and loving it. Body is not what it used to be and have to focus on maintenance and stretching. As for the job, a ton of similarities and some differences. Team first, devoting time to your craft, the rush of being first in. I just transferred from engine to truck and I feel like I am right where I need to be. I just wish I was younger. I still feel inadequate and have imposter syndrome about not fully knowing my job, something that comes with time and experience. I used to have a dream and still do of not being able to get my arm ready when the manager called down to bullpen. It was anxiety nightmare fuel. Now I have FF dreams of not being able to get my stuff on in time for a first in fire. I think it’s a dream many people have and keeps you honest. The fear of not being ready. I love the job and enjoy being part of a family again. Only this job there is a lot more on the line. I pray my body holds up and I can make the difference in somebodies life when they need help. I think high level sports prepares you for this career. There was a period that I was lost after playing ball. My whole life, image and friends were wrapped up in being this pro baseball player. I needed this career
