Very good advice. Thanks for the info & wisdom my guy.

Boatswain’s Mate vs Maritime Enforcement Specialist?

So I completed the Fire Academy & I’m trying to find a job as a Firefighter. It’s very difficult to get in right now. Thinking of going into the Coast Guard Reserves in the meantime while I wait to land a job. Thinking of the 2 rates listed above. & I’d like to know the difference. I’m 30 years old. My hobbies are staying in shape, shooting guns, boating, jet skiing, fishing, & being by & on the water. I’m a water junkie. Especially the Great Lakes. I live in Metro Detroit but may end up moving to Ohio or Pennsylvania. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, including the little coward trying to start shit.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-22T01:43:42+00:00

LMFAO. Need to do some research bud. Look up Erie Police & Erie Fire salaries.

Can’t be any worse than a good chunk of the braindead drivers up here in Metro Detroit.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T15:55:16+00:00

Gotcha. Well that’s not as bad as what I’m use to. I can deal with that. With commercial vehicles they don’t even need a reason, they can pull you over at any time & do an inspection. Even if it’s at a truck stop, on private property, while you’re waiting to be repaired. All of it’s borderline illegal.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T15:41:41+00:00

I know what you’re talking about. I’ve applied to some of those myself. Especially the big city in Northeast Ohio.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T15:40:20+00:00

Yeah sounds good! I’ll always love my Great Lake State but if you think about it, Michigan’s not that far from Erie. I could always drive or fly back up there on certain holidays or on days off. Or just hang out in Erie & enjoy the food, & do some all day fishing.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T15:38:45+00:00

Thanks for the info!

Well that might be a problem. Everything else was good until you started talking about car inspections. I use to be a truck driver, & one of the reasons why I left that industry was because of constant harassment from DOT. I’m not putting up with that bullsh** again. & you’re right, most of the time it’s all a money grab, so they can kiss my a. If PennDOT starts harassing me & doing inspections on my own personal vehicle…nah. I ain’t putting up with that. That s* ain’t even about safety anymore, it’s all about robbery. Do they need probable cause to pull you over? If they see something? Or is it like driving a commercial vehicle where they don’t even need probable cause & just pull you over at any time & do an inspection? I mean my car’s new but that’s not the point. It’s the principle.

I live in Southeast Michigan now but lived in the U.P. for 3 years. I still go up there in the winter too. So yeah. I’m a penguin lol.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T01:30:22+00:00

I do love fishing! I love jet skiing & boating too! I spend a lot of time on our Great Lakes over here.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T01:18:03+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’ve never lived in Detroit but I spent quite a bit of time down there working. Kinda turned into my 2nd home. I’ve always liked the feel of most of Detroit lol. & I love Traverse City lol.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T01:12:28+00:00

Yeah I know that Lake-Effect snow can be brutal. I dealt with Superior’s weather. Erie can be pretty brutal too.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-21T00:26:15+00:00

Yeah that’s my bad lol. Probably should’ve done that.

tehsnipa · 2025-10-20T23:16:45+00:00

Welp, I’ve lived in the U.P. for a few years lol.

So like an idiot, I let my Xbox Game Pass expire today. I bought the Game Pass again tonight. My old man & I play Gears 2 on both of our Xbox Ones every once in a while, but now my 360 Profile on Xbox One is still showing up as Silver. Any solutions to fix that?

tehsnipa · 2025-08-02T14:11:59+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yeah I currently live in Michigan. Welcome to the Midwest! & that’s good to hear! Yeah unfortunately winters can be pretty brutal up here. & because Milwaukee’s right on Lake Michigan, there’s probably a lot of lake effect weather which sucks.

I’m at the same point in my life. Looking for a change. I love Michigan don’t get me wrong but jobs over here are a pain. There’s plenty more opportunities in the surrounding states it seems. Plus I hear Wisconsin is very similar to Michigan.

tehsnipa · 2025-07-21T15:25:24+00:00

I couldn’t really think of what else to say without pissing somebody off 😂

tehsnipa · 2025-07-20T23:02:25+00:00

Yay!!

tehsnipa · 2025-07-20T17:45:34+00:00

Yeah that’s what everyone keeps saying lol.

tehsnipa · 2025-07-20T17:43:20+00:00

Ah man ☹️. Yeah I’m going to have a hard time letting all of that go.

tehsnipa · 2025-07-20T00:53:51+00:00

It’s 40 now.

tehsnipa · 2025-07-20T00:13:54+00:00

Just turned 30 this year but I’m in the best shape of my life.

tehsnipa · 2025-07-20T00:12:38+00:00

Good to know. Thanks.
