Hey guys, I've been looking through the forums the past couple of days and decided to join even though I am not yet a firefighter. I am looking forward to a career in firefighting but I have some questions. I was wondering if anyone here has celiac disease or knows what it is, and knows if that is permitted in firefighting. The reason I ask is because it kept me out of the military which bummed me out. Also I wondered if anyone knows the general sight requirements, I should be able to find that on google if no one knows, but I might as well check here first. I was also wondering if you guys had any friends/family members which put down your career choice. I have had a few people tell me that I am wasting my potential, and I was just wondering if anyone else had that problem. And I don't really know how to word this, but I am afraid my body might not really be up to the task of firefighting and I need some help to try and make me as good as possible, because here is the situation. I am not a big guy, I am 5'8 135lbs. I can only bench 140 pounds and squat 300 or so, I am a runner though running in half marathons and I am very agile, I was a wrestler for 7 yrs and that honed my reflexes and quickness. Any good work out routines to help me gain strength? I also have some education questions but I will search for answers to that first. I appreciate your help guys, thanks.
