Bent over the coffee table, Pvednes squealed:
I just spent the last three hours being told about a large assortment of situations that are likely to kill me, and what to do if I'm caught in one.What the hell have I gone and got myself into?
It's a good thing; adds incentive to learning self-discipline and attention to detail.
People call it being anal, but when even a minor mistake can kill you, your friends, or innocents. . .is that really a bad thing?

Free beer whenever you want it down at the station house?
I don't know about other fire departments, but there's no alcohol allowed in any of the ones over here.

The bit that got the dread going is that there were one or two of those situations that were almost certain to kill you even if you do everything right.
Mind you, you're absolutely right.

Quite so.

I guess that's just a New Jersey thing, or maybe a volunteer FD deal. The I saw rivaled that of any upscale joint--stained wood, polished brass, the full nine.
Nice to see my tax dollars hard at work.

A bar situation where you can say "I'm a fireman," not be lying, and get instant poontang.

Probably only about 10 or 15 years ago did that really change. Manhattan had a pop machine with beer in it when my dad was on the Fire Dept.

Hmmm depends on the fireman. Some guys are good to look at but are jerks. Firemen included. But for the most part yah. Fireman > bagger boy.

There are lots of guys at my dad's firehall who think they are the greatest things in the world and they just need to flash their badge and things get done. They are usually the ones that go to the Firefighting Combat Challenge and cocky as hell.
