If I were to join the military would it give me an advantage of being hired as a fireman?

Asked by Angel over 7 years ago

Yes, Veterans preference but also maturity and discipline that can be lacking in those that have not served. My opinion is that all graduating high school students serve 2 yrs in the military like Isreali teens do.

I’ve applied to become a volunteer fire station. What I’m curious about is sleeping. How often do you get calls during the night on average? And would you say working these kinda hours has messed up your sleep schedule?
