This Group is for any Future FireFighter that is still in High School
From what I hear, it's physical. Boot camp is tougher and always has been. Didn't emphasize P.T. as much when I was training the guys who trained the guys who are running the academies, now
I have another question is the academy as hard as boot camp
Your best bet is still to concentrate on the academy, then start EMS. You will burn yourself out too fast if you load up your plate. Try to keep a little time also for family and friends.
Thank you i will do that but i talked to someone and they said that most of the calls are EMT
focus on only the academy if possible, don't overload your plate, learn to curb and control your enthusiasm, do more ride-a-longs with both fire and ems as well as some ER time volunteering. you need to expand your experience but not at the expens...
Ok im going to go into the fire academy and i was wondering what other courses should i take with it. Like an EMT class or what i have no idea.
I think that the best thing we can do is to train really i have no idea.

And being a diabetic is definatly a challange in this profession my advice(I too am a diabetic) keep it in check always make sure your brothers and sisters know about it and that way they can know what to watch for fire will affect your levels and the more people that know the better. You hiding it is putting your life and theirs in danger. I have two on my dept that are diabetic as well and they do not take care of themselves. And I REFUSE to go in with them. Just cuz they dont care about their life doesnt mean I dont care about mine. Good Luck sweet heart
