  1. What's the best answer that you can come up with. I have a couple: 1) I dislike flying 2) because leg less nasty cursed wicked evil lizards can't fly. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  2. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  3. Thought it was about time I posted a boobie pic! Enjoy!! No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  4. I'm with both. I'm on staff with one department and do shifts and I volunteer at another. Where I just respond to calls on a as needed basis. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  5. At least they had passed, unlike the woman in the article that failed. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  6. Well crud! I'm the one that said NYFD. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  7. Doubt that. We don't put up with that crap. Texas folded. Lol lol No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  8. And you know for a fact that different parts of the test at different times are not reviewed and done during training? We continually train and review. Every area is covered. Now as far as if our test is exactly the same, I don't agree. I really don't think that the NYFD have many wild fires and on the other hand I don't deal with underground tunnel fires. We test and train for the area we work and live in. But there is a basic standard we need to meet and that doesn't need to be lowered. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  9. I rather have people sign my helmet then put stickers on it. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  10. Bullcrap!!! Ritual/hazing ??? That's an insult!! What the crap do you think we do play games ?? No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  11. I believe I passed a test that is equal to theirs. But again it's about personal integrity also. Take yourself out, instead of demanding that the standards be lower. If people want to sit on the "well unless you take the exact same test" crap they can go ahead. But, I have passed what has been required of the departments I work for without them lower a standard. It was dang hard and I'm proud of what I do! No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  12. It's a joke. I have yet to run across an "academic " area in a fire. Interior or exterior. Yes, they were afraid of a lawsuit which is a shame. The woman that failed but passed already sued once to get the age raised so she probably would sue again. Her statement says it all " SHE always wanted to be a FF". Period, she doesn't give a crap about anyone else or anyone else's safety etc. whether she was qualified or not she was going to become one. Thankfully I'll never work with her. I'm sorry for the lives she will put at risk. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  13. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  14. Obliviously the standard isn't set to high as other wen are more then capable of passing with "flying colors". We continually train and test. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  15. So lower the standard because it might be set to high even though there were so many others that passed it with flying colors. Hhhhmmmm I disagree. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  16. No two tests are exactly alike. BUT there is a base standard that has to be met and either you pass it or you don't. I'm not concerned with the objections of a union, that should encourage and demand that their members meet and pass the test instead of demanding exceptions be made due to gender. She also demanded that they raise the age limit because she had reached it. Her statement says it all: " I always wanted to be a firefighter" well she needs to quit thinking of herself and put others first. What the heck!! I wouldn't want to work with her because of her attitude. If you can't do the job the you shouldn't be doing it. Again, this is people's lives we're talking about. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  17. And you know that it's not?? No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  18. I am a liability if I can't pass the standard set, no matter where I would work. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  19. No actually. I have been tested and I've passed what was required of me to work for my department. IF I would apply at the FDNY, I would then be required to meet and pass their qualifications and tests. If I didn't then I shouldn't be working for them. Simple. There's a basic standard. I've met and passed that standard. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  20. If I can't pass a test needed for my job then I'm a liability and I shouldn't be working in that career field. I don't play with people's lives. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  21. If I haven't done the same exact test, I've done something close to it. My understanding is it's basically an interior obstacle (for lack of a better word)course with a pack. The one I did for interior attack I failed a couple times before I passed. I wasn't allowed to go inside until I passed that part of the program and I'm still under someone and being mentored myself. Sorry my ego isn't so big I want to cost someone their life. We're not talking about a walk through the park. Even those that have never done any part of this job or wanted to have the right to say if your can't pass the standard that is set then step aside. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  22. If she had any integrity she would quit. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  23. http://nypost.com/2015/05/03/woman-to-become-ny-firefighter-despite-failing-crucial-fitness-test/ I disagree and I wouldn't work with her. She's going to be a liability. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  24. It's minion purple ! No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
  25. I'll pass on the Go-pro. I want to become an old skydiver. I'm more then happy to pay for video/pics, from people that are qualified/certified to do that. No matter how slowly you say oranges it never sounds like gullible. Believe me I tried.
