So long story short one of my good buddies finally got on a career fire department(super competitive in our state) the same time I did and then totally fucked up, he blew a 0.082 but was forced to resign from the department, he’s only 23 and in good shape trying to figure out what to do next. Anyone have any good links or info I could share with him?

R5 pre requisite
Goooble gobble one of us
i have heard of a guy getting a DUI in an ENGINE and still keeping his job....
I feel like this kind of thing keeps us from getting a pay raise
Maybe if the us were a meritocracy but nah man it’s just a fucked up system
I’m not convinced you’re even allowed to be above an GS8 in fire without a DUI or two
Gotta have atleast 2 or 3 to be a hotshot
Yea, the feds dont give a fuck.
Ha most bosses I've had so far have had at least one
Oh boy can you
A DUI is a block in the FFT2 taskbook.
USAjobs, apply, and good luck. Not getting the job but surviving the crew life
Had a dude that drunkenly killed 3 people with a truck. Did fire as a prison crew and was FS a few years later, so sure
Practically a requirement on some crews.
Tell him welcome to federal service for me
One of our engine captains got one last summer and was allowed to remain captain until he could be moved into a patrol job.
Just be honest when they inquire about what happened and what came of it. I got 2 of my own (shamefully) and I got on with the feds. Mind you I’m 23
Yes.
Just be honest when it comes up.
with contractors issa requirement
Yeah he's fine. Hell have to wait a long fuckin time to get thru adjudication. But hell be fine.
Yes you can, but it’s hard to work and try to take care of all the legal requirements mid season. Best to take care of all the legal shit and then apply next season
My crew had so many DUIs in 2015 Canada wouldn’t let us in lol
The feds don’t care
