Hey i am new to this forum! I was wondering if anyone could tell me what crash/fire/rescue school is like and what to expect because my career planner isnt really giving me anything to prepare myself with.
All I remember is we called them guys "Crispy Critters".....thats all I got, sorry.

Its cool i am leaveing to go to the school in december just trying to see what to expect.
probably getting a license to drive a P-19.... and using it... so it's a decent job and you can take that into the civilian world too... airports have them too....
what's your current MOS?

when you get to pensacola there is a BIG chance they are going to put you in Ordnance...about 1/2 of the crash fire rescue guys get changed when they get to pensacola because the classes are so packed and the waiting list to pick up a class is usually very long. so rather than keeping you on barracks support for a year they put you in ordnance.
my IMADET mos is 7000/7051....so if you get sent to miramar im sure we'll meet
so the enlistment code for that must have both of those MOSs otherwise it's a breach of contract....

I'm sure someone just talks them into it by saying something like "You can stay here for the next 18 to 24 months and police call for a living, or we can switch you to xxxx MOS and have you in the fleet in 4 months."
Then they sign the dotted line and the Marine Corps' green ass is covered.
good point... but honestly.. unless they have scheduling conflicts with having a class pick-up I don't see contracts signed for these kats if they can't get a school seat relatively early on.... 7 months tops....
I'm only spaming my opinion here.

I remember from a few CFR buddies, Crispy Critters, I had CFR training was I believe in Millington, TN-- NAS Memphis back in the 80s where I trained as a Aircraft Hydraulics mechanic. One of them went on to become a Firefighter. I think they did relocate the training command last I heard. I also beleive NAS Memphis was part of the base closures back in the 1990s. Anyhow good luck!!!

I left Pensacola in June, and never once did I hear about CFR being there. As far as I know, between AMS-1 and 2, there is Air Crew, Avi, ATC, Air Frame, Ordnance, AD, and EAF. I just asked someone in my class and he said that CFR is on some AFB in Texas.
You don't wanna go to Pensacola anyways. Unless you like being broke. So many things to blow your money on, and so many hot women. Basically a sweet place to be stationed at if you're single and a NCO.

I like the load capacity increase, the interchangeability with the Army (keeps our costs down so we don't run out of funds to fix them as fast) and they are self diagnostic like the 7-ton so it simplifies electrical repair and gets it back to you guys faster!
