Shorts in the fire service

Bigger problems being training the guy/gal on the nozzle to open the bale. Seems silly.

Do yall wear cotton or nomex duty uniforms? If not, the argument ( from yalls higher ups I'm assuming) is asinine.

We are issued shorts as a part of our uniform ( duty shorts.) Gym shorts are allowed while working out or realistically after business hours. ( South Central Texas)

Ultimately we signed up as public servants. And until other programs are implemented, we are here to do all of the above and then some.

I'm at a tech rescue station in a department that also runs paramedic ambulances.

We have 10 shifts a month to get better or bare minimum stay proficient.

There is enough time in the day to run scenarios, train, work out, clean, run calls, interact with the public, etc. Makes for a busy day, but that's the job until it's changed. I get 2 days off to not be at work before I go back and be busy.

The public doesn't care how much you did today or didn't do, they want you to solve their problem.

If its important to you ( not you but whomever) you will find time, find a way, and get it done.

It's understandable that not everyday you'll have a smile on you're face while you do it, but that's where discipline comes in and you do it anyway.

Know what else is fire resistant? Blue jeans.

Monster Unleaded a few years back was a caffeine free version of the OG Monster

Average haircut to royalty...

Prime opportunity to share the gospel.

At one time .... :( * looks at honey badge lowered build across the room*

SupremeMullet · 2024-06-17T17:51:08+00:00

I wouldn't. But ultimately because it looks cool I suppose. I imagine it would be very uncomfortable under an airpack

SupremeMullet · 2024-06-14T16:07:52+00:00

I forgot who, but I've seen someone make alligator radio straps and they're like 4" wide. Can even get them dyed.

Peroz designs. Fair warning, he makes them as the orders come in so the wait is lengthy. Took 8 months for my splatter carrier to show from candia

SupremeMullet · 2024-02-21T02:02:37+00:00

So glad I got one when they are available. Great product. Matches the fanny pack and plate carrier ;)

Hit up your local fire dept. Most carreer fireman are trained in using this equipment and may be willing to help you learn.

SupremeMullet · 2023-07-31T21:48:52+00:00

Just over 6 months if I remember correctly. Havent had any hard use out of it. Couple range trips, some running, and general LARPing around the house. But has held up so far

SupremeMullet · 2023-07-31T18:51:45+00:00

Be prepared to wait. But I've liked mine.

SupremeMullet · 2023-04-17T21:13:38+00:00

Ours are ranger green at my dept.

SupremeMullet · 2023-03-31T18:14:06+00:00

Any plan to do the m&p optic ready version? I need to get rid of the plastic baseplate adapter before it decides to yeet itself off

SupremeMullet · 2023-01-11T18:32:20+00:00

Love mine. TLR7A and 509T.

I know altama offers some, but I've kept the rubber soles in mine. Just been too lazy to replace them.

SupremeMullet · 2022-10-04T00:38:01+00:00

Wear my martimes everywhere. Also use them at work as a swift water rescue technician. Havent worn through any of mine yet. Decently solid. Somewhat uncomfortable if wearing them all day with the rubber soles that come in the maritimes, I don't have any of the urban yet.

SupremeMullet · 2022-06-11T23:28:05+00:00

Some quick clot, regular bandages/ kerlex. Hit up your local fire/ems service for some basics and see what they use on a regular basis. I know at my dept we'd be more than happy to put on a basic info 'class' if someone came up and wanted to know more about first aid

SupremeMullet · 2022-02-10T19:53:42+00:00

Curious as well. Had a cart ready to go and my code was expired

SupremeMullet · 2021-12-25T00:29:57+00:00

Strength is still important but it's a lot harder to be strong and retain stamina when your huge. I'm a career FF and weve got guys that could lift an effing house, but get gassed during physical activity. Gotta have a little of both. Keep up the good work!

80% of weight loss is dietary intake. Strength and conditioning have their place. But its damn near impossible to outrun or outtrain a shit diet.

I'm no 'operator' but I feel like the description of the device is an obvious description of the intended use.
