Dinka, fiefighters wear their dept t shirts for serious trolling

I was married before I was a firefighter and still am, long, long after, so that has never been part of my repertoir! On the other hand, in traditional; settings I would be surrounded by female nurses....(same deal, and glad of it).

hmm, well, i can think of at least one situation where firefighting beats college. It's so much easier for a firefighter to pick up girls than it is for a college boy. i thinks it's that [clearly but not visibly uncomfortable] uniform...

SpitFire, it was a means to an end that didn't work. But it was honorable

and paid OK.

Since the base was thoroughly inspected and the worst people screened out to a degree, we saw very few fires vesus any busy urban station. Every day held that potential for mishap, but hey, we were invincible!

Thanks.

Afzal, as long as In stayed in Nebraska, the decision was EASY!

majroj,

Regardless, it takes one hell of a person to be a firefighter for how ever long they are. Not only does it take strength but a LOT of bravery. You should be proud.
