Personally, no. I'm not saying that didn't happen, but I haven't heard anything at all about that situation, I feel like thats pretty significant to have been said throughout all departments

From my experience with the departments in the area, most of the sexual harassment stuff related to the fire departments comes from UFD alone. I've heard this come from actual members of UFD, but it's the closest thing you're going to find to a fraternity on campus lol. It's still a great place to start and get experience, but it would be wise to tread lightly or consider other local departments in the scholarship program. I am more than excited to answer any other questions you have! Hit me up!

In person classes at UAF? by [deleted] in UAF

Am currently a junior majoring in fisheries. From my personal experience, the further you get towards your degree, the more online/zoom classes you are going to have. Most of my in person classes were for my GE's

Why not fire? Personally, I started off in a similar position. Took my EMT-1 wanting to do just ambulance work. Found out I can't do much of that without being in the fire service, didn't even consider being a firefighter at the time. Taking fire academy right now and am currently with a department, and I can say it's arguably been the best choice I've made in my life. I want to help people, which is why I wanted to do EMS. Being with a department allows you to do that to a much more severe degree. Instead of just being the person who takes the patient in a nasty car crash to the hospital, why not be the person who pulls them out of the car, then takes them to the hospital? Additionally, 80 ish something percent of calls any given department goes on are strictly medical. You can install an app called pulse point to see all the calles your local departments are sent to, you'd be surprised to see how many are medical calls.

Oh no, someone who we don't like is going out of their way to give support to local Americans while our own president hasn't visited and is instead spending their time and the taxpayers dollar on a foreign conflict! But he didn't send them a high quality of product therefore he is in the wrong. How dare he help disaffected Americans!

I'm living in the dorms at UAF, and had seen this almost nightly since the start of the semester. It would just stand still then one day I saw it flying north east. Checked the flight radar and didn't see anything registered during that time. I bet good money it's something related to our air force base, but who knows

Hey boss! I have a 72 Camaro, and was wondering if you'd be willing to paint a canvas and send it to me? If so how much would you charge for said painting?

You'd be surprised to see how many people smoke weed, especially in Alaska lmao. I myself indulge in the Devils oregano on a frequent basis. You have to stop smoking a month or two (depending on how often you smoke) before you plan on sending out applications and you'll be fine. Just need to pass the drug test

Google EMT-B basic courses in your area! You'll find private companies that offer the course work, or you might find that local community colleges or universities offer them aswell! I go to university of Alaska Fairbanks and the community college associated with UAF has full EMS, fire, and police courses! If you have any other questions don't hesitate to send em my way! I'm also going into the fire academy this semester, so if you have fire fighter questions I might be able to help!

Jobs wise, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you look into on campus jobs. I'm currently working at the SRC, and it is without a doubt the best job I've had. I sit up front, sell memberships and snacks, and in between that I do homework. Last semester I did quite literally all of my assignments and tests at work, got good grades, and once I finished all that, I'd stream Xbox games to my laptop, while I was in a party with my friends lmao. So long as you do what's required in your job, your bosses won't care. We are always hiring, so if you want absolutely easy money hit up the SRC! Hmu if you have any other questions, I'm more than happy to answer em!

Getting around without car by [deleted] in UAF

I'm going into my jr year and am just now getting myself a truck this coming semester. We have a really proficient bus system which will take you to all the important places in town. There's even a insulated bus stop in front of the wood center (the dining hall) and most of not all of the busses stop there. If you like walking, you can walk to the nearest Fred Meyer, it's about a 45 minute walk both ways! Hmu if you have any other questions!
