It is time consuming. If you are going to put your time into something join the National Guard.

[LazyLab]

Call the guard when your house is burning down

[Hannco]

Seriously, you get tax breaks

[Southshorerob]

In your spare , spare time ?

[pandm]

Talk to T. Webb.

And here is a broad overview of the bennies.

Your ass is too twiggy to handle it😁

[Grifhunter]

Tax breaks? I would think you do it for the community service or you don't do it at all. If its a money issue you could make more than any tax saving using that time doing side jobs for cash.

Blue lable glocks!!!!

Not only tax break on property tax but a pension also

[Paté]

I did it for many years (until I moved) it's a lot of effort and time. You're expected to go to weekly company practice at night, every Sunday was a 5 hour department get together for training, truck maint, etc. You also need to get your basic classes in and get you degree in firematics. Every department is different, but mine required a certain amount of points (calls, fire or ambulance) per month also.

I loved it, but it does consume a good portion of your life.

[Heartlessmcfly]

My buddy is trying to get me to join. He told me about the pension, points, property tax breaks, etc. Think I'm gonna head down tomorrow and submit my app. Worst case, I hate it and leave

[Southshorerob]

Good luck Mike.

[UVBNAXED]

If I can do it, you can do it. Sounds cliché, but they'd be lucky to have you.

You might get drug tested.

[det]

Never? Not even alcohol, tobacco or Rx

[Heartlessmcfly]

No narocatic Px, alcohol maybe 2 drinks a year

[det]

DET is impressed.

[iceburg]

It's a commitment ...You ready ?

[Heartlessmcfly]

Dunno

[det]

I think you are ready.

[Heartlessmcfly]

No idea what's involved. If I like something, I'm hooked
