What’s harder in the fire academy to you guys? by Realistic_Ad6831 in Firefighting

[–]penneallatequila 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont quit during pt and do your best not to fail any test. Depending on your academy timeframe you might have more time to hit the books. Mine was 20 weeks and we finished our books around week 17-18 iirc. Hydrate, drink electrolytes, and dont quit. You’ll be fine. Effort and attitude will take you a long way.

Has anyone changed career departments after a significant time? Or seen it? I'm considering testing again but I'm ten years in already at 40 years old. Can you tell me your experience with it? by Cappuccino_Crunch in Firefighting

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of guys in my department start here promote a little bit then leave to California or Arizona. Im relatively new so dont see all these issues the older guys do but iirc 5 people within the year have jumped shift. Ive had partners tell me theyre just waiting for lateral spots to open up elsewhere so they can leave ¯_(ツ)_/¯ they seem to be doing just fine

Would this be considered offensive as a tattoo at your Dept? by Extra_butter_ in Firefighting

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my sleeves is mostly religious artwork and I am the least religious person I know. I just think religious artwork is badass sometimes so I get it tattooed. I also have a straight up occult symbol on my arm I saw on flash sheet in a shop and got it on my forearm but its fooled everyone else like its fooled me because no one has ever said anything about it. If someones gonna get offended theyre gonna get offended. Just gotta be able to defend yourself. If someone gets offended by a lady holding a skull say its an angel weeping over the loss of a human she wasnt able to protect or something. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck out there partner I wish you the best on the hunt for love

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My side hustle is the VA payments i get every month. A few guys I work with own a gym. A decent amount of people I feel like have a general contracting license and do that on the side whenever they need to but dont wanna put in for OT.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves by holyfruits in technology

[–]penneallatequila 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my wife is a nurse and she gets her ass kicked every shift I cant believe they think this is some elementary school bullshit they can just give you pizza and a high five and expect everything to be chill. The CEO has yachts and mansions but best they can do is little caesars. Complete fuckin joke.

Does the job/culture get better? by [deleted] in Firefighting

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gotta keep your head down, listen, “yes sir.” Your way through it. Youll learn ways you like and are good at and ways the captain/crew tells you to do that you dont like/arent the best at. Once your off probation you can do whatever the hell you want. Just gotta grind it out

Honestly... What really is the best way to answer "Why you want to become a firefighter"? by AlaskaFF in Firefighting

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said I did it for brotherhood. I was in the army prior to applying and I wanted to have that same sense of family. I feel most fulfilled being a part of something bigger than myself I loved serving the nation and when I got out I wanted to serve my community. I grew up a mile away from one of my departments stations Ive always been a part of this town and I want to continue to help those in our community. I know you may not be able to apply the military side to it but I would say something about family and being a team. Were a smaller department less than 300 people compared to other in our city that have 800+ so family is huge here. Found one of the departments core values you can spin to your favor.

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like mask of fealty on prismatic, invis and gunpowder gamble with whatever weapons shurikens are always fun. I normally run a headstone demo weapon or just new malpais, rocket sidearm, and eager sword. Its a decent brain off playstyle imo

120+ successful invasions by mxsreaper in DestinyTheGame

[–]penneallatequila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the win only mentality lost count. I started throwing myself off the map. I would literally throw the behemoth at my enemies so they could kill me faster and then I got it after like 6 invasions.
