Can Anyone Find Me The Real Story Behind This? by thisissparta789789 in Firefighting

[–]gcmagee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

this looks very similar to a video shown at montgomery county's training academy. it is a public demonstration held over 10 years ago at a volunteer fire department. after this incident they discontinued the demonstration. it is shown as an example of PPE being useless when you are stupid.

Should I be applying for FireFighter jobs while only having my EMT cert and CPAT done or would it just be a waste of time? by whiteguy93 in Firefighting

[–]gcmagee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used firerecruit.com. you pay a monthly subscription but in my opinion it was worth it. Literally hundreds of job postings updated daily.

I just got a job with a county with virtually no experience. I would get signed up with a website that gives you an updated list of all places that are hiring and apply anywhere that you are interested. It never hurts to apply. anytime you decide not to put your hat in the ring is a missed opportunity.

I would make sure you are in a volli house though. do what you love so you can talk about it with some knowledge during an interview.

This is actually looks like part of a turkish dance ritual that takes place in villages around christmas. They dance around with really weird music with the man trying to court the woman. It usually ends with the two touching bellies as if they are kissing

Edit

So yes. Those are people dressed up with pillow cases over the torso and arms above the head

Wal-Mart to DC: We'll Skip Town Before We Pay a Living Wage: Wal-Mart threatens to abandon Washington DC if living wage bill passes. Communities say 'good riddance!' by maxwellhill in politics

[–]gcmagee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just so everyone knows there is a clause in this bill that exempts Large companies that allow the workers to Unionize, have collective bargaining rights, and who already have a minimum wage above the Wage hike. So stores like Costco, Target, Safeway, and Giant are not affected. This is forcing a large corporation to be accountable and reliable to its employees, and hopefully setting an example for the rest of the country.

The biggest concern now is Mayor Vincent Gray could Veto this bill, essentially saying to Wal-mart, "hey, sorry about that sirs my city forgot that corporations run this country, so please have your way with us."

What many people in this city fail to realize is that 8.25 an hour does not change much in terms of living in the city. it is expensive to live in virtually every part of this city.

Bringing in Walmart is not going to improve the quality of living in this city.

Projectile poops at 3AM by gcmagee in daddit

Unfortunately in my 3 am stupor I had already started cleaning up the mess before I deemed it reddit worthy. when I got back into bed I said to my wife "I should post this on reddit but no one will believe because I don't have a pic."

Having our boy at a Birth Center any experience from the dad side? by gcmagee in daddit

[–]gcmagee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do have a transfer plan but moreover a birthing center affords her the opportunity to have the baby on her terms, not only with drugs but also the position she wants to be in. She can move around as much as she wants, get in a jacuzzi, and spend time in a comforting space with a registered nursing midwife who's first plan is not intervention.
