what is cooler than a marine firefighter besides a space marines firefighter

RoninHD you
My Great Uncle was a career Marine Firefighter (served in Korea and Vietnam during his 20 years). My cousin and I are now civilian professional fire fighters. I started two years after he had passed. I wish I would have started earlier, I think he would have been proud to see both of us joining the brotherhood.
We’re you in military prior?
I went into the Marines as an infantry man. If could do it again, i'd do this instead. I'm now going through the hiring process to be a firefighter.
Same, except security forces then the fleet after. I was originally guaranteed this MOS than 2 days later the recruiter said you had to be 5’5 and I was 5’4 and a half. Royally pissed doesn’t come close to what I felt then and what I feel now thinking about it. How’s your journey so far?
@@maxb4210 im 7 weeks into the academy.
@@julioperla4935 I’ve heard the academy can be very similar to bootcamp depending where you are, have you noticed this? Also what’s the hardest thing you’ve had to learn so far, the only thing I’m slightly worry-some on is the amount of knots you need to know
how has it been?
@@AnimalAlmighty Should've applied to the Police Department.
When you're in the thumbnail lol
Lol
Very well trained and disciplined firefighters they are.
I’m about to go to my mos school for this job and I just really hope i can keep up with them I’ve heard the training is pretty hard
Caleb Corn I’m sure if u can get through Bootcamp u can get through their training
It's not bad and the brother hood is tight as fuck.
How’s MOS school?
@@danielval3359 Not bad at all. San Angelo is hot as fuck so drink a lot of water and limit the energy drinks.
They said 120 hours in one week, what are your hours or days like? Very interested but I also got a daughter
great video
this was my job in the marines. it was fun 😄
I’m trying to get this MOS got my fingers crossed
What the name of the mos?
@@Spyxern208 I think it’s MOS 7051
@@KJ-tc9be that’s correct
I was stationed at Cherry Point, NC. The Crash, Fire, Rescue section was the third assignment I was ordered to. That is a very tight-knit unit at times.
Do you think it is a good stepping stone into a civilian department
AccessDenied55 yes
Earl Lewis So you come out with the certifications required by most departments? I'm 16 and trying to decide whether I should go to the military or get my EMT & FF training through a community college
AccessDenied55 tough choices...and I would advise you to weigh the pros and cons of both.
Earl Lewis What do you think Is the best route?
That's my dream job :)
did you pursue it?
My brother wanted CFR but the Marine didn't give him that.
Pain.
Can anyone tell ,me if this job is offered in reserves? Would mean a lot
Yes, I believe so.
JaySky181 it is
Yes it is
@@brwneyedgrrl I appreciate the speedy response. Just got out after 5 years active duty as an 0311

Can you wear eyeglasses to get this mos because I wear glasses but without I cant read from far away
Carlos Verdugo yeah you can wear glasses.
Don't go to New River you will hate your life. Don't even go for ARFF, if you do better try to go to Japan, ( kuni or oki) and Hawaii.
Pendleton was pretty chill.
Kuni bro. That's the place to be.

I would like to find anyone whom was at MCAS Yuma on February 13th 1980. WTI crash on the flight line TA-4 USN from Beeville, Tx
What mos is marine firefighting?
7051
Who also knows how to play the guitar
if Im wildland cert, can I request this job in the marines
biceptory323 Goodluck man, it's harder to actually be able to request a specific MOS then in the army or air force. My advice would be to talk to a recruiter, but don't sign a damn thing until you see that 7051 - Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting, is on your orders. Even then I've seen people get completely different MOS' assigned to them after they finish bootcamp. The needs of the Corps man.
biceptory323 how come its harder to get a specific mos in the army and airforce?
You can request anything you want.
Getting it? Your chances are extremely slim.
The military has its needs... and you're a warm body. When you walk in the door, you're a candidate to fill whatever needs they have, at the time you walk in. Most of the time, firefighting is NOT going to be on the menu, because that's a popular job, and there's only so many positions available.
According to one of my firefighters, who entered the Marine Corps with intention on being an aviation firefighter, the best he could get, was a guarantee to the 7000 MOS group... which would land him 'somewhere' within Aviation Operations. That could be being an aircraft dispatcher, or whatever.
They actually were going to put him, basically, in aviation operations... aka "administration"... pushing paper. Something got buggered up and they sent him to the training base a week later than the class required... so he got a chance to pick something else. He chose 7051. He got up to the training base for that, and they decided they didn't need him in that class, so his training squadron's colonel pretty much bulldozed him into a total shift of MOS, to be a helicopter mechanic.
While he was glad to have served, by the same token, he isn't shy about admitting that he didn't find helicopter maintenance to be very satisfying.
Long story short. If you heart is set on being paid as a firefighter, you need to seriously consider options besides the military.
You can look at becoming a USFS employee, tasked as a wildland firefighter, for example. This may even be seasonal work. You could also buckle down and go after your EMT and Paramedic certifications, and then try to parlay THAT, plus your fire service experience, into trying to get on with one of the west coast fire departments. (God knows they have a ton of em out there in SoCal.)
Far as your wildland firefighting experience goes, I can tell you without a doubt, it doesn't translate to aviation firefighting very much at all. Two different specialties entirely... both fantastic... challenging... etc... but for different reasons.
One thing I can tell you, is that you might only get one or two chances in your career, to actually respond to a live, on-airport crash incident. Many ARFF firefighters go their whole careers without attending a crash or an aircraft fire.
Start talking to the paid firefighters closest to you, and look for volunteer opportunities as well. Getting into that 'networking' can help you locate opportunities to further your career in the fire service.
As always... follow your standard orders, be aware of watch-out situations, stay with the team, and be safe.
@@dickindynamothen they make your ass a recruiter when you’re trying to get out lol
Oh, that bond broke a few times....oh yes it did!
Do they ever get deployed?
I need to know to
Can I be color blind and do this?
