So I got hammered by someone who thought I was trying to play the I have more experience than you game.
So I say experience (in the fire department)is somewhat relative to your surroundings. I am sure there are slow companies in NY whose members see less fires or total calls than their fellow firemen. They could be seen as less experienced within the dept.
A fireman at the south pole who put out the only fire of the decade which was an out of control dumpster and wearing no airpack, may be more experienced than anyone else who has ever worked there.
My other thought is that, unless you personally know someone and everywhere they have worked, you may draw conclusions about someone based on the way they post. This is where I may have gone wrong with a few peole. For that I am sorry. However, when someone comes in here saying they have 20+ years experience and we know they come from Snake [email protected]% fire dept., I have to question their true knowledge on whatever subject may be at hand.
I am wrong?
