What should I expect

[thechrisclark]

I am going to Fre school and EMT school in January.

1. What should I expect at school?

2. What should I look for when trying to find employment/

3. What should I expect when I do find a job?

Thanks

expect alot of yelling

Yelling is only an issue if you cannot follow orders. Understand that the fire/rescue service is a paramilitary organization. For this to work there has to be rank. Listen to your officers and you wont get yelled at.

As far as school, expect to study a lot. As cliche as it sounds, be the best you can. Make yourself invaluable.

Expect to keep your ears open and your mouth closed.

That was the best advice I saw on here when I first joined the forum and started reading old threads.

How good of shape will I need to be in. I am not out of shape, but I am not ideal either.
