Still have the rate! In fact, I sent someone off to bootcamp as an AT, not long ago.

Thanks for your service!

Hooyah!

Really. I thought they had combined the AT and AQ rates into something. Cool.

Although I am Navy (not civilian), I are(gggh) a firefighter! does that count? But I guess, since I don't have my plastic, it doesn't, not really! Aw shucks!

Hooyah!

I'm not saying it doesn't count, but if it did I would've had a better chance of getting into the FD after I got out of the Navy. I applied for a few different FD's that were hiring within the first 2-3 years after getting out and never even got to the interview or physical. And from what I remember one of the department's took a bank teller instead. Go figure. Oh well, everything turned out good. I guess I wasn't supposed to be a firefighter.

Welcome to North Texas Keith.

I don't know too many firefighters, but you are the first that I've heard of that carries. The ones I do know say they'll leave that to the police. Are there many other firefighters that carry?
