Currently going through a Civilian Fire Academy. Great perspective on the Air Force's Fire Academy. One of my classmates is an Air Guard Fire Protection Specialist.

Thanks man and great video! I signed a general aptitude because fire protection was hard to get but this week a position opened up and my recruiter swapped me and booked it for me!

@wreckless1870 make sure you join for yourself. Like I mentioned above, I joined for a girl I was dating. WAS dating lol. It's one of the best jobs for active duty imo because we don't have to do too much with the squadron nerds lmao. You have to get lucky because some bases don't get much fire. You get to move around and meet great people and as a firefighter, you get to see and do things that civilians could only dream of. Although tough sometimes, I don't regret my choice

Thanks for watching brother. I bet you can't wait to ship out. So some people come in with EMT certs already but most of us just get to go to a class while at our station. Soon here ill be looking to get my EMT cert for sure!

Ralph Mesidor hey thanks for the reply sorry I just saw this! I’ve done a ton of research and asking around in the last few weeks and I’ve learned a lot and I feel a lot more prepared for both basic and the fire academy. That being said I am curious about the kinds of things people fail the academy for. I know there are written tests but other practical evaluations but I’m wondering what things did most people fail for when you went through tech school? I’ve heard only the people that didn’t really want to be there failed but tbh I’m still a bit nervous. Thanks man!
