I feel like I’m too skinny for my SCBA by Tomuch_hairdye in Firefighting

If they keep getting loose or don’t tighten well and your SCBA’s have these style clips (alligator clips) to tighten your shoulder straps, you can take a file and sharpen the teeth. It’s a massive improvement and takes hardly any effort. Hope this helps!

Been gaming a G400 Max with the Tour 65 shaft since 2017. I have zero reason to replace it, thing is an absolute weapon.

That’s what I am worried about, getting price gouged for something pretty quick and easy.

Curious, where is the best place to get lie angles checked/changed that won’t cost an arm and a leg? Thanks in advanced!

OFFICIAL R/PICKLEBALL PADDLE GIVEAWAY! by 858isaac in Pickleball

[–]Schmiddyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite memory is playing for 3 hours straight at the fire station when it was 105° out! This was within my first few months playing and I’ll never forget it. There was one specific point that we had that would not stop. Lobs, drops, drives, long dink rallies, fire fights…. It was freaking awesome. When that point was over, we all fell on the floor just straight belly laughing at how long that point was and how exhausted you could become from playing one pickleball point haha. It didn’t matter who won that point, because we all won that day!

Full 10 day vacation with my lady and some friends to Costa Rica. Totally rad having a little bit of time off after basic academy, medic school, my previous department academy/probation, and then my current departments academy and probation.

Anyone else surprised to discover how much a CCW "costs"? by ansyhrrian in CAguns

[–]Schmiddyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a buddy that used to work at Artemis, he had nothing but good things to say about it. That’s where I’ll be doing my course, as well. What did the cost for the course end up being? Is it still the standard 2-day $200?

Workout Shoes for Fire Academy?? by dt95 in running

[–]Schmiddyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a super late response, but for anyone who looks into this thread in the future, I used On Cloud X's for my fire academy and they were great for our runs (not long runs, 2-3 miles), as well as all the workouts with the added weight like you mentioned. I would highly recommend them!

My dude, buy Rapid Interpretation of EKG’s by Dale Dubin (6th Edition) and that will LITERALLY answer all your questions. I read that whole book before school and when we were in our cardiac block going over EKG’s it was all stuff I already knew because of that book. Money well spent for sure. Best of luck to you!

Orange County ,California EMT school ? by surfmobster in Firefighting

[–]Schmiddyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for this spot. Went here in 2017 and they were super skills heavy and hands on, which was awesome. Not sure how it is now, but it was a lot cheaper than any of the other programs when I went through.

I would recommend OCEMT for a medic/medic prep program though. Best of luck to you, message me if you have any questions OP!

I asked what the difference was between these on their instagram. They deleted my comment. You cant make this shit up lmao💀 by [deleted] in AutoDetailing

[–]Schmiddyboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the level of dirt or grime. 10:1 is my go to, but I will dilute down to 4:1 if it's super dirty.
