Sample Chatter Excerpts
Air Force Firefighting?
I also had a few questions regarding AF firefighting. Is it possible to be in the fire program in the reserves? If you were deployed would you be there for fire protection or would you be doing something else? The recruiters for the military have been calling a lot so just recently I've been giving this some thought.

Why firefighting?
Although I am not myself a FF, I would like to say to you that if you decide what to do in your life by yourself, you could be an happier man than if someone else has decided for you. Consider that 16 years is enough to say no to an imposed choice.

Know what I love the most about firefighting?
I'm not a hundred percent sure, except that the 'right way' isn't to just throw 'em in the trash. If you have a pool and have purchased the chemicals, odds are there's a phone number somewhere on the packaging that you can call for disposal information.

Where to learn firefighting tools?
We supply our new members with a rookie glossary. Pictures and descriptions of all of our equipment. Unfortunately, I don't have an electronic copy I can pass along. This was created by one of our rookie's a few years back. Perhaps you could volunteer to work on a similar department with one of your department's more experienced members?

Do you guys think 18 is too old to join JR firefighting?
Go to college and get a degree and then try to join a career department if that is what you want to do. Plenty of time to choose firefighting once you get an education first.
