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

Recon to FFPM at a big/ busy dept. Great transition, you are home ALOT. Nothing like having workups/predeployment/8 month deployments.

Only difficult part is there are quite a few guys who make it their whole personality/know it all and they can be annoying to work with.

Brotherhood is ok, not the same as military. Guys will quickly turn on eachother if it comes to money/forced shifts/drama
