    First you'd need to see if they're still taking applicant info on the website, http://rpsc.raytheon.com Check under Antarctica jobs. Then firefighter, then if accepted to interview, come out to Denver, Colorado to interview, if you're taken on then Raytheon will send you to Salt Lake City for 2 weeks to get your ARFF cert. Then you ship out a few months after that. If you need any other info just let me know.

    Sweet man,I was dispatching out at the post for a while, we just got a measer for a tax increase passed through the city councel for the nov. votes, so if it passes in nov. it looks real good for barstow fire man, more staffing and new equipment, victoreville just went county and they want to take over barstow but we have ben giving them a fight

    Aug 19, 2008

  • TANK361

    Well we would still keep our station,but with victorville they fired their fire investigater,all the chiefs,and the only people at the stations now are the duty crew,so that is what would probably happen to us if we went county,but i dont think it will happen, anyway how do you like firefighting back east apposed to the west coast?

    Well! To see you ask if I'm a 'footy fan' was certainly a surprise! Are you an ex-pat? Or visited here? Anyway. no , not me. As a kid I followed Collingwood with my father, then I umpired, then I gave the whole lot away. I'll watch some 'world game' matches, or Rugby Union internationals but that's about it.

    So, are you a follower of footy?

    Dec 8, 2008

  • Tony P

    You know, that's one answer that didn't even occur to me! And yes, Australia's a great place - not perfect of course, but where is? Certainly not Iraq... My Army time was well before Iraq came onto the world stage, well before which you can tell by the pic I use as an avatar!!!
