Just wondering how extensive the training is for NJ, I know different state's are different. I have a few friends in different department's all within Central Jersey.
I am considering Joining, and Have read even if your Volunteer you can still be fired if you don't meet the criteria by the end of the year.
As far as I know, each department usually has their own SOGs about what criteria they want you to meet. One year to get your FFI seems to be the standard though.
