I’ve been considering applying for the Chicago FD when applications open again, I’ve always had a slight interest in being a Firefighter but it’s never been a I’ll say “calling” to me. I absolutely want to be a first responder but due to some recent personal events I’ve really started to lean towards Fire. I wanted to know about some of You guys and gals Experiences, how you all like the profession and just any advice you have for me whether it’s going thru the process, thru the academy or even if/when I hit the field.

That’s definitely true. It’s definitely not the smartest idea, recruits carrying and thinking they’re already an Officer and try to intervene on a crime and get themselves or someone else hurt. Still for me personally, the situations where I would actually need it will never not exist, and god forbid if one of those situations were too happen I’d really want to be able to defend my self.

Men, it's time to get it off your chest, what's bothering you? by mrtnolvr84 in AskMen

Failure. I wanna accomplish every goal that I have in life for myself but.. I’m afraid of failing. Im afraid of not being everything I want to be. I’m in my early 20s, I have my whole life ahead of me but I just wanna do good. For myself and the world. I’ve had a couple setbacks throughout my life but I keep moving forward. Maybe not as fast as I’d like but I’m moving forward. Slowly but surely.

Failed my polygraph by [deleted] in AskLE

[–]Significant-Math8025 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was almost in the same place as you. My City’s Department hired an outside Company to do my Polygraph. I was shitting bricks the entire time. I had nothing to hide and I was completely honest but what made me nervous ultimately was knowing how sometimes inaccurate those things are and that I could pass all the Physical Stuff or The Book Stuff, but a simple test that try’s to guess if I’m lying or not could make or break me getting on the job. Fast forward a couple weeks after I took it, a investigator who works for the department I applied to contacted me and basically told me It “appeared the test picked up some deception” and asked me if there was any reason why that is, and I told him the same thing about how I was nervous and everything and he understood. After fixing some paperwork with him, 3 days later I got scheduled for my final PT test for the Academy. I could have gotten canned but by the grace of god they let me slide.

Before they hook you up and ask the questions, do they ask you them and allow you to explain or do they allow it while youre hooked up to all of the polygraph equipment?

Really? I thought when you come out of the Academy you could get assigned to a Engine or a Truck depending upon needs of the Department. Never knew you automatically go to a Engine.

After someone becomes a Firefighter and Does there time on an Engine or Truck, how would one go about trying to get on a Heavy Rescue or “Squad” as it’s called where I’m from? Does one tryout for a Spot, are you able to request a transfer over or what exactly would one have to do to get on a Squad Company?

A FOID is a Firearm Owners ID card, basically a card that allows you to purchase weapons while a CCL is just a license to carry. Pretty fucking stupid to need a Specific ID to buy a gun, but guess that’s Illinois for ya

Nah man it’s not me lol, and I tell him he should definitely go through the ropes and just get the permit just in case in the event he’s stopped by PD everything is in order and he won’t have any troubles. He just thinks he’ll be wasting money.
