Firefighter with a few questions.. PLZ help

[Creeker]

If I could, I'd give you a ticket right here for thinking ... or even inferring... you have a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card.

That is absolutely arrogant.

ok, seriously!?.. man you need to calm down.. i AM a firefighter.. the only time im NOT considered a FF is when one with 5, 10, 15 years on, says to me, im not because im not paid..

i hold a state certification stating that i AM a firefighter.. i volunteer only because im still testing with depts to get full time/career position.. to be a volunteer these days, you are required the same amount of training and certification as a paid career firefighter by NFPA.. the ONLY difference between me and a career guy, is that he is getting paid..

i hope you got your rocks off by flaming me..



to the other posts..

thanks for the reply. About FDNY.. unfortunately, they do things way different up there.. so im guessing its going to have a bigger impact..

i talked to my brother (FF for 6 years) and he said to hire an attorney and take a shot at getting it expunged/adjudicated?

honestly, i dont mind paying a ticket, i made a bad call, used bad judgment, and do not have a problem paying the price. However, i dont think that particular incident is one that should necessarily effect me for the rest of my life, or as far as career placement is concerned.. if it was a DUI or i was putting someone in danger, then yes, that would be another story.

any thoughts on me hiring an attorney, and trying to get this off my record? any experience with that?

thank you all for your time

Saying that you are a firefighter just because you attained all of the necessary documents to qualify, is like saying some of those who visit this site with stupid questions are police officers because they took criminal justice courses in college or attended an academy; yet, they do not have their badge and identification cards.

It is your post that raises queries young person. You speak of being a firefighter and of seeking a paying job. Just because I water my yards does not make me a plumber. Just because I change the oil in my car does not make me a mechanic.

Get off your high horse, come down to reality and be clear when you post.

Oh, yes, your statement: "...i hope you got your rocks off by flaming me..." is totally inappropriate and shows the sum of your maturity!

You made a bad choice, in your own words, by popping the top to throw back a few in the parking lot and car. Live by your deeds and suffer the slings and arrows of adversity!!!

Good luck!
