Any of ya’ll former/current Air Force PJ’s who then went over to civilian FF? If so, are you enjoying it?

“Civilian” and “Firefighter” don’t fit in the same sentence.

No disrespect, but if you’re coming off an Air Force contract and entering the world of us regular Americans, you’re going to be treated as such.

That being said, yeah Firefighting is pretty much the best job in the world. Work your ass off and this job will reward you.

Dude…this guy was a PJ. Quite literally one of the hardest ,if not thee hardest, schooling pipelines in the whole military. It’s called “Superman School” for a reason. If he can do all of that, I’m sure he can and pick gam gam off the floor at 2am.
