District #1 NRMAFES here. Is there anyone that works fo NRMAFES that is not a complaining, crying, pot stiring sad sack? Leaders are made by not just identifying problems, but rather offering solutions to problems. How I long for the old days when dedication was high up on the priority list. We need to stop acting as individuals and working together so we all can benifit. Where are the level heads?
Hey men, You have the job I would love to have and wished i had done when I was in the Navy. I didn't realize I had the interest till later though! Do you think a Navy vet would have any chance of getting back in and working with the fire or ems service as a civilian or military on any of the bases? I know it sounds like a whacked out question, but I thought I would give it a crack. I am looking for a career change into this area. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I did use to be on the ERT on the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (aircraft carrier) back in the 80's. Hey have a good one.
Your biggest problem would be your age. By the sound of it you may a little over the limit (37) But if your under the age, Go to Navy Civilian personnel check out 0081 this will be the job description for the Firefighter. I take it you now have back ground with the fire service. If you do fill out the application, have someone review it. Check with your local base FD or the one your interested in and find out if they are going to be hiring. But you may start looking into your local departments also, Other non-DOD fire, Department of the interior, homeland security, DOA, DO Energy, DO Health Coast Guard and a few others. See(USAJob.com) . Also check with State fire departments at national guard bases. Good luck
