Yeah...they have been trying to stop that stuff in Boston,since before me...but it's tradition.
I remember years ago,as an FFOP being detailed to a firehouse.
They had a Coke machine hooked up to dispense beer instead of soda.
I thought damn...these dudes are gonna get busted,til I saw the chief go over and put his 50 cents in.

Public opinion in Boston these days is at an all-time low.
Too much shit has come to light in the past few months.A couple of guys who were killed in the line of duty,one had drugs in his system and the other was legally drunk.
There have been firefighters caught in drug busts,picking up hookers in uniform while driving a department car...smoking weed while using a department car.

And to top it off,filling in for someone at a higher grade than you...and suffering a 'career ending injury'.This has the FBI involved...

Last year,out 108 retirees...72 went off at a higher grade than they worked...that's balls.

In Boston,when an LT goes on vacation...a private fills in.
When a Captain goes...a LT fills in...and so on...all the way up to deputy.

So these guys,when they fill in...they slip or fall,career over...but instead of getting the pension that you normally would have,you get the grade that you were acting in at the time of your injury....cute,huh??

since you didn't follow them when drinking where you look upon like a rat?

that much corruption...what have they done to clean it up...

LOL....Thats crazy.With us you have to be in a position for a year to get retirement at that position.Shits is alot stricter here too.If somebody gets caught drinking on the job they would be fired.But some white dudes STILL push the envelope.I learned alot about white folks on this job.They HATE authority and embrace adreneline/risk.These mfers will risk their careers over NOTHING.Just to do it.

:smh:

I wouldn't mind being a Firefighter. Only thing that kinda fucks me up is the long ass waiting period to even apply. The list opens up next year sometime, but still... I've been waiting since 2006 (last time list opened up in Chicago). :(
