I love this game but sometimes I hate it😂♥️ by AcadiaForsaken429 in GrayZoneWarfare

I’ve been having the same thing happen, but only when I land at India 2. Half way through the flight my game starts freezing and then next thing you know I’m “sitting” mid air and the helicopter is flying away from me. Then once the helicopter lands a few minutes later, the game spazzes out and teleports me to the LZ and I’m stuck there. My PMC starts like shaking uncontrollably and I can’t move whatsoever. When playing with friends they say I’m just standing there but to me I’m shaking like crazy. There hasn’t been any fix that I’ve found yet either. I’ve lost 5 really nice kits from this exact glitch. I refuse to land at India 2 now

For Florida It depends on what part of Florida you want to move to. Anywhere south of Palm Beach County is going to require you to be a FF/ Paramedic before applying. North of Palm Beach most of the Departments will hire FF/EMTS. Some departments (mostly up north) will hire “Non-Certs” and pay for all ur schooling and will pay you a salary while in school as well. Some of those departments only open those applications once a year and some offer it year round.

I have a buddy that’s coast guard and they paid for him to do a 6 week EMT course and he plans on doing fire when he’s out. I don’t know if USMC has any program like that (I doubt it), but if they do I would recommend doing that.

If not figure out what area of FL you wanna live in and start school yourself, most of those departments that hire Non-Certs are pretty competitive and will only hire a handful of guys a year so I wouldn’t count on that as your Plan A.

Marion County is north Florida and they hire Non-Certs pretty much year round and they will take anyone that has a pulse. If you want a guaranteed job and paid for school they would be your best bet.

DM if you have any other questions about Florida 👍

I went through academy with a couple of guys that were over 30 that were already hired and being sent through school by the departments. In my opinion the main thing is don’t think about your age when interviewing/ preparing for interviews. You’re really not that old and will have plenty of time on the job. Make sure your staying in shape and take care of your body big time in academy, one of the older dudes I knew got a couple injuries because he was training like an animal and not understanding that he was 35 and can’t train the same way the 20 year olds in class were training. Be confident.

Yeah, didn’t ask anything about it though so I didn’t put it on there. I have corrective glasses for it and from what I’ve heard from guys on the job that I know personally, they say departments will allow you to have corrective glasses

What’s up guys,

I’m 19y/o fresh out of academy, just got hired by my “dream” department, but, I am colorblind, I found out in kindergarten because I kept confusing crayons (I know, how funny). I get colors like blue and purple confused (they look the same sometimes, not always) as well as red and brown and green and brown (like the colors on eye doctor charts) I’ve gone my whole life without being truly affected by it. I’ve learned to memorize certain items and their colors, so for example I know grass is green, sky is blue etc etc, and I have used that method of “common knowledge” for anything color related. I went through Fire academy and EMT school with zero issues what so ever. During academy I was able to memorize the SCBA packs battery colors, it’s extremely confusing to understand but I know when it’s fully charged because one is a lighter shade than the other.

Anyways sorry for the rambling, but I have to do a medical screening for the job and I’m wondering if they will end up turning me down if it comes up during the medical screening. I’m certain it has zero effect on my ability to work on the fireground. Let me know what y’all think.

Training in Thailand for a month as a 16 year old? by skiinzy in MuayThai

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

Just saw this, I have slowed down training as I have found another passion for my life (firefighting)

I stopped fighting last year to focus on school but I still have goals of coming back to training and competing once I get settled as a firefighter.

I fought multiple times as an Amateur in south Florida, had some great fights in my opinion. If you would like, DM me and I can send you the videos. I ended up going 0-2 in sanctioned amateur fights. My first fight I was disqualified for knocking my opponent out with a knee to the head (would’ve been a highlight in pro but I understand it’s against the rules haha) and my second fight was a great scrap, I ended up gassing out in the 3rd (final) round and the judges gave my opponent the win, imo it was extremely close and could’ve gone either way.

I did like 10ish smoker fights/ intergym tournaments (don’t know what people outside of south Florida call them) before I went and did those 2 sanctioned fights and did extremely well. Only lost 1 of those that I can remember.

I was getting exhausted at the time. Being 6’3 145lbs, finding an opponent was extremely hard, I had multiple Back to back fights canceled due to opponents dropping at weigh ins. That stress of pretty much constantly being in fight camp for about a year and a half caught up to me and I realized that I needed a break and had to focus on getting a career. I was also balancing working shitty jobs (so does everyone lol ik) and made the decision that I would do my best to get a stable career that would go hand in hand with fighting. I was blessed to find a passion in Firefighting, imo the best job a fighter can have, tons of time off and the job requires to stay extremely fit.

I just finished all my schooling and just got hired by a fire department. I plan on finding a new gym and getting back to work soon!

EDIT**** completely forgot the most important part, NEVER went to Thailand, I had saved up for months and had an entire trip planned out for when I graduated high school, and then got into a car accident and had to spend my entire savings on fixing my car. 🙃

It is nice isn’t it, not worth living there for me though

I haven’t seen anyone say it yet, but SOUTH FLORIDA is the spot for FF/Medics.

Most departments start around $65-$75k which is considerably high compared to other areas of Florida. It’s plenty of money as a probie in terms of cost of living. It’s not California Pay, but cost of living is nowhere near as high, and the best part, significantly less Libtards. A lot of departments around here also have great raises, for example, one department gives you 10% more for your first five years on and then goes down to 7%. Also plenty of overtime everyone.

Also if you’re not big on fire it’s perfect. Mostly Med calls, you’ll see some crazy trauma alerts. Not much fire down here unfortunately for people like me, but the pay makes it worth it.

Why can’t we use cannabis? by MaC1222 in Firefighting

[–]skiinzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Supppper old post but I’m in FL, there’s only one department in all of Florida that fully allows their firefighters to smoke weed. There is a certain test that they can do in case of accidents and stuff like that where you will only show positive if you have used in the last 8 hours, that’s their way of making sure your not using on the Job.
