First off let me introduce myself, SSgt, been in 5 and a half years, currently I am a 2W071 Munitions Craftsman. I have been stationed at Elmendorf AFB (4 Years) and Nellis AFB, NV currently (1 Year). I have wanted to be a Firefighter since I was a child and it wasn’t offered when I enlisted. Well to make a long story short when I PCS’ed to Nellis, my tech school roommate and close friend mentioned he was retraining in to Firefighter, immediately I was interested. We both submitted retraining packages a month apart and both we accepted. My class date is 13 November, my friend leaves a month before I do. I am very eager to get to Goodfellow and start with my training, I have already been reading the latest edition of Essential of Firefighting. The idea of being able to help people on a personal level appeals to me, not to mention the rush of fighting a fire.
So here are my questions, there are a lot.
About how long before my class date should I hear something from Goodfellow?
What can I expect upon arriving a Goodfellow?
How does the training rate next to what a civilian would receive?
What is the basic brake down of the blocks?
What position on a crew can I expect to fill when I arrive on station?
Will I be able to respond to calls as a 3-Level when I arrive on station?
Will I have troops as a 3-level?
When can I begin EMT-B training?
Approximately how long do CDC’s take? I know it depends on the troop, but I plan on a volume per week.
How difficult is promotion when testing PFE only?
What CONUS base would I see the most calls?
I have many more but I figure this is a good start. Thanks in advance.
