JetpackCan easily afford $1,500 rent, could do 2k if you’re like debt free and working OT. It can be done. I know firefighter that almost break 200k a year with OT.
Training was 6 months, wasn’t too bad but it is strenuous. Just gotta want it. It’s f***ing worth it lol. Amazing benefits. We had 4 days working, 4 days off in training. Could not work another job, but you were paid.
I work 2 day works, 7am-5pm
Then 2 night work, 5pm-7pm. I literally only work 6 months out of the year with my schedulesounds good to me! during your 6 month training were you payed the same wage as people who were already trained?

SlicedBreadImagine the fatal car accidents you'll see. smh
This is one thing that I f***ing hated. I was always shook that it might be one of my friends.
May 27, 2020·1 replymmdidthatsounds good to me. i just want enough free time to make my girl happy and to have some type of life outside of work.
I don’t think you get free time lol. You basically on call while working and I think you leave for days at a time.
Plus when there wild fires you have to put there in the middle of it all

i thought about it but i don’t think i can ask my girl to do long distance again. especially for 4+ years. that’s a real commitment especially for someone like me that doesn’t really care to join the military in the first place.

thanks to you i’ve made up my mind. I’m gonna start getting fit and studying things on emt’s. I guess I’ll call a local fire station and see what they have to say.
