One of my mentors was talking to me when i first started in the fire service and he told me that he was reading in the newspaper people are calling the fire service nothing more than a legal public kkk
I'll have to agree with Lt. Caleb. As my nickname is Buddy and every person in just about all the departments we assist know me as buddy and don't know my real name.
and another way to learn if you know anyone that works on a boat or live near the water ask some of the guys that work on the boats. Thats how i learned when i was working on a crab boat.

- Hey whats uo man.
Didn't mean to offend you bro. You really moved up in the training and I respect that. I am a volunteer but the departments around my area don't have any requirements. So imagine yourself trying to get the job done or something goes wrong and you're in deep crap because the person who has to back you up has no clue because they don't even have essentials. Could be frustrating when you have to explain to your interior partner how to feed the hose up the steps because they don't know wtf they are doing.
Hope you understand my points a bit better now.
Stay safe bro and good job on your training certs.
