odd name -------------

One step closer. Most say the written test is the hardest part of the process. Guy that was beside me during the test, was taking it for the 8th time. So to make it on my first try is exciting. Top 200 out of an estimated 2,500 who took the test this session.

Registering for the CPAT on Monday

No offense, but how do you expect to save a life when your ankle is injured?

No offense this time as well, but I wish you a speedy recovery and many males on your shoulders.

It's a sprain injury. Only thing holding me back is my calf muscle. It went into atrophy from the 3 months it wasn't used at all. Working on getting it strong enough to engage properly when my foot strikes the ground as I run.

I can jump, do side to side agility drills, Leg press, deadlift, and calf raise 225 on barbell. So it's not like I'm handicapped. Just have to get it stronger in the next 2 months. I can jog for a little bit before it bothers me any. Just haven't tried full on sprints yet.

Lmao I like how even firefighters look militarized.

LMAOOOO

Are you talking about the graduating class pic? i'm not really sure i would call that militarized. I think its the standard look of a group who are completely a task like schooling of any sort. I've got pictures just like that from high school, college, EMT school, police academy, basic training, and all of the advanced training schools through the military.

haha thats such a wrong statement

I know in most instances. I'm not divorcing hard work and preparation out of that statement. The point I was making is that when it comes to grading my resume (the only place I've fallen short in the past) it will help a ton since I also now have fire related experience (on volunteer department and graduated fire college with honours) with my other certifications, which will (assuming I passed all 4 tests) help bigtime if I have ff 1 ff 2 and haz mat shit as well.

When it comes to the written, physical, interviews, I always do well if I prepare, and I will.

That's all I meant.

okay, fair enough, however it wont be ezpk.

also on another note, are you talking about thunder bay, for your city?

one of my friends is in a fire academy here..she works out more than most people i know (and that's saying something), so i would have no concern in trusting her to drag me out of a building haha...just have to add - dat ass
