I think by just reading the posts on this topic it is easily to see why the Mets are Number 1I couldn't agree more
Old thread but our captain who i mentioned previously was 2kg overweight for last months re accred went up on saturday only to be sent home because he was 6 days overdue?? we've now lost a good BA operator (which we have only a precious few) until next April which is the next available full course.
(just jokin don't have a cow or burst into tears)
I am the one and only as well and as my user name suggests, I am fully involved.
Step into my world and i will show you a place of professionalism and courage.
I am one but still do the work of ten men.
I am not a firefighter I am the firefighter.
Step back and be prepared to be burned.
Step up and prepare to learn.
The joys of forums, multiple accounts to single users and hilariously outlandish discussion...
Maybe we could get back to the Mt. Gambier MFS topic..?
So kickback, relax and enjoy the ride 
well i have to say, even if your not actually in the service.... you (K99 & gongbeater) definitely sound like a stereo typical firefighter.....
full of filtered and cocky as filtered
but i wonT hold it against ya, it makes for ammusing reading
as opposed to soo many of the "supposed learned ones" who post here and have actually attended less fire calls in the last ten years than I attended last week 
K99 you are obviously in the MFS, so I ask can you still maintain 9.6 or have you slipped to the way side a tad....The Mt Gambier boys and girls would prob run rings around most full time MFS people now, cause they actually see fire and have to get gear off the truck.
More appliances! Its funny how I see a lot of CFS vehicles parked outside Woolies or picking the kids up at school.
Must be good having your vehicle and fuel etc paid by someone else.
What if this vehicle is a part of the drivers salary package? In almost every industry a vehicle is often part of their pay - why shouldn't they take it to the shops or to collect the kids? Sure it may not be used for CFS work right then, but a Regional Officer may need to go ASAP to a job, he/she shouldnt have to go home first to collect the car.
Good point Mr T, but unfortunately, staff members have very strict rules on the usage of CFS vehicles, and in the vast vast majority of cases private use is heavily restricted. And in the vast majority of cases the vehicle isn't included in their package, it's just a means of getting to and from work. Hope that clears that point up.
Now to return to our normal transmission and thread topic
Gongy, are you the ex OMGWTF or the ex strikeathird, heavy rescue, corecutters?Um no definately not any of the aformentioned persons. But guessing probably have a similar low threshold for gongbeaters.
Very similar posting type.
Some people have actually said they couldnt be bothered turning up to an alarm to members.
MrT, okay didnt read the pager site to see Athelstone responded.
Oh we take the pumper shopping all time!
I saw Gawler 359 parked outside Coles yesterday.

, this just so isn't going to end well for you, haven't you caused enough grief in other posts
OR ..... if you really can't sleep, phone the Regional MFS manager and as him or phone the DO in charge of training and as him.I mean ohhh really, you try and tell that to Little Johnny Binglebum's mum. He committed suicide last month because he failed his beep test by .027secs on the first go and therefore failed entry to the SAMFS.And that's all he ever wanted to do when he grew up, poor bugga won't get the chance now will he
At the end of the day, it makes little difference, Mt Gambier was an execption to the traditional intake in MFS - time will tell if they use this style again (i.e. offer retained firies first)
. His poor mum can't even look at a BRT and when she hears a siren poor woman ends up in the fetal position. So don't tell me it makes little difference, more importantly you tell Little Johnny's mum
Unfortunately it a question many of us cant answer, and the man to answer is off doing training at the moment (with very limited web access).
I believe the others were just wondering why the question was asked. Is there something that makes you believe that the selection process was altered in some way, shape or form?
